Ashwin,
I'm responsible chiefly for MetPy so that's fine. For future reference,
though, I prefer public channels in general, either Unidata's python-users
email list or issues over at http://github.com/metpy/MetPy/issues so that
the rest of the community can chime in with answers or benefit from the
information. I'm cc'ing the python-users list so we can take the
conversation there.
That error message implies that something is off with the size of one of
your arrays. What are the sizes of temp, u_wind, and v_wind?
