Hi Michael-
I'm not completely clear on what you want, but if you want a single plan
view with timesteps (for an animation), create a formula:
zsum(a)
where a is the grid. That will sum the values at all levels at each grid
point and return a single level.
If you want to sum over levels and time, then do:
sumOverTime(zsum(a))
You'll need to be running 2.9u4 or the nightly build to use zsum.
If instead, you want to see all levels, try using the Volume Display.
However, that might not work with WRF data unless it's been
post-processed. And, it is a real resource hog, but that's the nature
of the beast.

I have output from WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting model) and I
can plot colour shaded plan views of the many variables in such a

WRF period) and levels.
I want a plan view of the variable with the levels aggregated. That
is - an integrated view of the atmospheric column.
I have tried using "all levels" and I have tried a formula that adds
the variable at each level. In the latter case the IDV legend bar
notes the aggregated values but the display is still stratified by
the individual levels. How do I go about showing a plan view of the
variable aggregating the levels?
