[IDV #DPW-228118]: Precipitable Water Script

Dear Patrick,

According to my colleague, Sean Arms, the WRF output must be post-processed 
with the the Unified Post Processor (UPP) to obtain precipitable water. 
Moreover, post processing should be done regardless to get off the staggered 
grid.

Here is some information on how to achieve this: 
http://www.dtcenter.org/wrf-nmm/users/docs/user_guide/V3/users_guide_nmm_chap7.pdf

Table 3, page 7-23, shows the code for generating precipitable water.

Please keep us up-to-date on your progress.

Best Wishes,

Unidata IDV Support
