Cathy,

Latex may not be understanding the Bounding Box specified by NCL
(although it is valid EPS format). You can run the following command
(assuming you have epstool)

epstool --copy -b inputfile.eps outputfile.eps

The resulting 'outputfile.eps' should have an explicit Bounding Box.
I usually use graphicx package under LaTeX..For instance, I scale/rotate
my plots using

\includegraphics[height=0.85\hsize, angle=-270]{./Figs/ssh_coarse.eps}
