> Hello, this is Michelle Spencer again. > > Thank you for the prompt response to the previous inquiry that I had, > I greatly appreciate it. > > I am having trouble plotting my Significant Tornado Parameter. I have > written code into the jython library, and made numerous sub-formulas > that I am trying to use in a final formula for my STP. When I attempt > to plot my data for each individual component of the STP formula I have > no problems. My STP formula consists of a BWD formula, SRH formula, > CAPE formula, and LCL formula. It appears that my LCL is what is giving > me my error, because I can plot the BWD*SRH*CAPE just fine, but when I > add in the *LCL I get the error described below. I am not sure how to > fix this error in order to plot the STP, which is what I ultimately need > for my research project. I'm not sure what all information you may need > to help me fix my issue, so please let me know if you need anything. > > Thank you for any help you are able to provide, > > Michelle Spencer Hi Michelle, Please send me those formulas, I will have a better understanding of your problem.
