Hi Michelle,
I am guessing u875 is the u component of wind at 875mb. If so, the formula I
enter:
def StormMotionVector(v,u):
"""compute storm motion vector from v and u wind components"""
vsqrd= v*v
usqrd= u*u
ws= sqrt(usqrd+vsqrd)
smv= asin(v/ws)*(180/3.14)
return smv
has no problem to create the display. You only need to specify the level when
the popup window
for the variable v and u.
