Hi Cory-

Best to send these to address@hidden in case I'm not around.

> Under the field selector I choose Formulas, then Miscellaneous, then Any 
> Field hit OK
> Then select 2d field (WRF gridded data) such as temperature
> 
> Error dialog box pops up at that junction with the following error...
> 
> topography units K must convertible with m or gpm

You need to select a topography (vertical units of m or gpm) for the topography 
field.  You've already selected the temperature field in the first step.  When 
the dialog pops up, select the 2D grid->geopotential height @ surface 
(HGHT_NONE) field.  It should show up as a topography field now in 2.7 b3 so 
you don't  have to use the Any Field any more.
