Hello,I need to subtract two vector quantities within GFUNC and I notice that the logfile says that only scalars are allowed within the operand. The problem with that is that the resultant quantity needs to remain a vector since the last step is to use a dot product within my expression. How do I get around this seemingly difficult dilemma within GDDIAG? My last recourse if nothing can be done is to use another computer language like C or Fortran to do the calculations and then import the calculated fields into my GEMPAK file. I have listed below my output for this one parameter.
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Calculate term 3A (dot product of Theta GRAD Tendency [Frontogenesis]
# and Theta-w GRAD)
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
$GEMEXE/gddiag<<EOF>> $logfile
GFUNC = dot(quo(sub(GRAD(THTA)^${dtplus}/${gdatplus}00F000,GRAD(THTA)^${dtmin
us}/${gdatminus}00F00),7200),GRAD(THEWK))
GRDNAM = trm3A^${dt}/${gdat}00F000
r
EOF

Thank you for your help,
