Variables mcape and mcin doesn´t work #194

Closed fedecutraro closed 1 year ago

fedecutraro commented 1 year ago

Documentation says that calling the function getvar with the variables 'mcape' and 'mcin' retrieve only those variables of cape_2d variable but I receive the following error 

from wrf import getvar
from netCDF4 import Dataset
nc = Dataset('wrfout_d01_2015-12-24_03:00:00')
mcape = getvar(nc, 'mcape')
