Greetings! Unfortunately, we don't maintain the WRF-Python package and don't have any experience working with it. WRF-Python is developed and maintained by our colleagues over in NCAR's Computer and Information Systems Lab. I would suggest opening an issue over on the issue tracker for WRF-Python and see if someone is able to help you there: https://github.com/NCAR/wrf-python/issues Cheers, Ryan > Hello everyone, > For a while I have been using successfully wrf-python version 1.3.2.6, but > recently a colleague of mine tried extracting cape_2d with wrf-python and > found strange patterns in the map, the same happened with slp variable > (attached cape_wrong.jpeg and slp_wrong.jpeg files). > > However terrain variable (also extracted with wrf-python) seems fine > (attached ter_right.jpeg) > > I have tried using his code to reproduce the results... but I couldn't!
