Hi,

I am using the wrf model to simulate winds for the purpose of mesoscale wind resource assessment.

I seek assistance in terms of plotting average wind speed maps for a month at 10 m and also at higher heights using NCL.

I am able to plot the wind speed maps for each time record but unable to do monthly average wind speed maps.

Appreciate guidance, scripts, assistance and advice.

Regards
Kunal
 
Hi Kunal,

Making a monthly average is quite easy in NCL. You can use the NCL function dim_avg_n. For example, if you want an average for January and your file starts on the 1st of Jan, you want to subset the data and average over the 'Time' dimension:

jan_avg = dim_avg_n(t2(0:30,:,:),0)

Hi,
I am having same problem to plot wind speed at any given height. Need your assistance to get working ncl script to plot it using wrf output data.
