vertical cross section strange result

[Evan Wellmeyer]

Hi everyone,  I am new to wrf-python and I was trying to plot a vertical cross section of theta_e through the eye of a hurricane and I got a weird result.  As a way to understand how I was supposed to do things, I tried to run the code for a vertical cross section of windspeed that is one the wrf-python website (changing only the in file and start/end points) and I get a weird result like before. It appears as though the grid orientation is somehow not being handled correctly.  Anyone seen the same issue or know what the problem is?

Thanks

Good morning. 

So the conda package hasn't been updated for a few years.  But the libraries that run it have.  This causes WRF python to break. 

Specifically it's netcdf that is causing it. 

WRF python needs older libraries then what is installed.  

So the way around it is to build a new environment but in a specific order. 

conda init bash

  conda activate base

  conda create -n wrf-python -y

  conda activate wrf-python

  conda install -c conda-forge netcdf4=1.5.8 -y --freeze-installed

  conda install -c conda-forge imageio=2.27.0 -y --freeze-installed

  conda install -c conda-forge basemap=1.3.6 -y --freeze-installed

  conda install -c conda-forge metpy=1.4.1 -y --freeze-installed

  conda install -c conda-forge wrf-python=1.3.4.1 -y --freeze-installed

  conda deactivate

  conda deactivate

  conda deactivate
