wrf-python wind barbs in cross-sections

[Stacy Brodzik]

I've been able to use wrf-python to plot most things I need but have been unable to plot cross-sections with wind barb overlays.  I found some code to do this but can't make it work.  I'm using wrf-python v1.3.4.1 on a Debian bullseye system.  Any help would be appreciated.

I have some code I can share with you

That would be awesome!  Thanks.

do you have specific points you want to plot to or to pick ones at your choice?

[Stacy Brodzik]

Did you get my answer?  I'd like to be able to input various lat/lon endpoints for my crosssections.  Thanks.

something like that?

[Stacy Brodzik]

I need something like that in addition to what I first asked for.  For these time-height plots (like you sent in your last mail), I'm assuming that these are at a specified lat/lon location.  Please verify.  And I'd like to plot another field (say temperature or relative humidity) in filled contours under the wind barbs.  This is very close to what I need.

For my original question, I'd like to plot something like my attachment with wind barbs added in the two cross-section windows.  The cross-section is shown in the left panel in yellow and is defined by two lat/lon pairs.  Any idea how to do that?
