Hello All,
We are having difficulties postprocessing the omega variable. For some
reason the code used for the rest of parameters (and works) is providing
only a field of zeros for the Omega.

Rana,

which post-processing software are you using? One possible reason is that the values for omega are small. This is a vertical profile in one point in a small domain:

ncks -H -v omega -d iy,10 -d jx,10 -d time,3 output/verysmall_ATM.1990010100.nc

If the post-processing has a fixed format in the printout in a fortran program, check if the number of significant digits accomodate for the values.
