[GEMPAK #ONK-192391]: Potential Vorticity Error in Garp/Gempak 5.11.4

Jeff, 

Thanks for the detailed description, following your steps I see the same error. 
 I was able to display potential vorticity for the three models mentioned by 
choosing Scalar: General and then selecting any of the three available 
PotVort_* options.

I'll look into why we're seeing this error with Scalar: HAS and get back to you.

Michael
