This document is a tutorial on the combined use of two NCAR-developed visualization tools, VAPOR (Visualization and Analysis Platform for atmospheric, Oceanic, and solar Research) and NCL (NCAR Command Language). NCL is used to construct 2D data plots from WRF data, and then these 2D plots can be inserted in an appropriate location in a VAPOR 3D scene of the WRF data.
A basic familiarity with NCL and VAPOR may be helpful to the reader, but not required for this tutorial.
