    Cathy,
    You can also do the following in NCL

    wks = gsn_open_wks("epsi","ssh_coarse")

    This will create ssh_coarse.epsi. You can insert this .epsi file in Latex using say
     \epsfig{file=ssh_coarse.epsi, angle=0, scale=0.9}

    or whatever you choose.

    You must have
    \usepackage{epsfig} in the preamble
