Good morning,

I would like to know if there is a way to calculate the Frontogenesis field with NCL.
Is there any direct variable from the model that could be used for this issue, e.g., thermal front parameter?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Lara
 
Hi Lara,

There is nothing specifically "frontogenesis" that you can pull from NCL. wrf_user_getvar will help get diagnostics and the documentation has a list of variables you can get:

Also, here is a list of other wrf-specific functions that can help calculate certain variables:
