Graphics: NCL - Built-in Functions

Below is a list of NCL built-in functions created to help users calculate simply diagnostics. Full descriptions of these functions are available on the NCL web site.

wrf_avo
Calculates absolute vorticity.

wrf_cape_2d
Computes convective available potential energy (CAPE), convective inhibition (CIN), lifted condensation level (LCL), and level of free convection (LFC).

wrf_cape_3d
Computes convective available potential energy (CAPE) and convective inhibition (CIN).

wrf_dbz
Calculates the equivalent reflectivity factor.

wrf_ij_to_ll
Finds the longitude, latitude locations to the specified model grid indices (i,j).

wrf_ll_to_ij
Finds the model grid indices (i,j) to the specified location(s) in longitude and latitude.

wrf_pvo
Calculates potential vorticity.

wrf_rh
Calculates relative humidity.

wrf_slp
Calculates sea level pressure.

wrf_smooth_2d
Smooth a given field.

wrf_td
Calculates dewpoint temperature in [C].

wrf_tk
Calculates temperature in [K].

wrf_uvmet
Rotates u,v components of the wind to earth coordinates.
