Vorticity calculation: third request
Dear Ferret users:
This is my third request on this topic. I haven't received even a nibble
from previous requests, but I figured I would give it one last shot.
I need to calculate relative or total vorticity from a wind field in
curvilinear coordinates. Is there a straight forward means of
accomplishing this in ferret? The netcdf schema of my output and the wind
fields are included below.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
