The NCL error messages all stem from the fact that NCL cannot find the
internal data files it needs to run. What you need to do depends on
where these auxiliary files were installed. Normally the are installed
in a subdirectory of the 'lib' directory.
Based on the path to your NCL executable, /usr/local/bin/NCL/bin/ncl,
look in /usr/local/bin/NCL/.
If you find a 'lib' directory there, it should have a subdirectory
called 'ncarg'. Set the environment variable NCARG_ROOT to
/usr/local/bin/NCL/
and you should be good to go.
If instead you find the 'ncarg' directory somewhere else, say
/usr/local/lib/ncarg or /usr/local/lib/NCL/ncarg, try setting
NCARG_NCARG
to that path. If that doesn't work, let us know, and we can definitely
help you figure it out.

Hi Brian,
Have you tried using GEMPAK as an interim format?
I've had good results using the venerable wrf2gem postprocessor that
Steve Decker developed several years ago. The netcdf-java library handles
the GEMPAK to NetCDF conversion fine and I have a couple bundles that
display fields from our regional runs.
I believe that if you build NCEP's WRF post processor and choose GEMPAK
output, that will work too.

Subject: [idvusers] making WRF output CF compliant
Does anyone have some one-line templates for converting wrf output to
IDV-friendly netCDF files?
Preferably with a set of basic weather variables but not a zillion
internal model fields.
Such an old question, so much on the Web, yet every solution seems to
require a bunch of time and effort.
This looked promising
http://foehn.colorado.edu/wrfout_to_cf
But for me it creates the inscrutable errors below and no results.
No idea what to do next, no hours and hours available to study it.
Anyone have a workable solution?
Thanks for any tips!
