Not an issue, just a quick question

[TemporarySir]

Does PyNGL use all the functions that were written in the original NCL command language? I looked at functions and examples, and it looked like it was missing quite a lot from the original functions library. Specifically I am looking for the original NCL command dv2uvf which worked with creating irrotational wind from the given data file's wind fields. If not, why aren't these functions included? Computations such as this are exceedingly difficult to compute without prior knowledge on solving Poisson's Equation so having them available would be very useful.

Thank you!

Hi @TemporarySir , thanks a lot for reaching out!

I'd like to let you know a few insights that would be helpful regarding your question as well as for furthering the conversation from there:

• PyNGL has been in maintenance mode (i.e. not in active development) for a long while now. Please see our November 2022 community update for details about this info. When the interest is the plotting capabilities of NCL, the right address is our GeoCAT-examples plotting gallery.

• Though, regarding your question about NCL's dv2uvf function, which was under the "spherical harmonics" family, I'd recommend you to look at our computational component, GeoCAT-comp, since we have recently implemented spherical harmonics decomposition/recomposition functions.

I hope these are helpful; please feel free to reach out again.
