Hi Paul --
I'm not clear on the logic of "(if temp == NaN) then compute
WetBulb"...or am I mis-reading this?
Can you send me (off-line?) your web bulb computation formula? I'd
like to see what additional logic is in there that prevents you from
using VisAD "built-in" arithmetic. (I'm always looking for ideas for
new functions to put into JPythonMethods).
