Plotting a non-standard WRF projection

Howdy,

Through my own stupidity several years ago I blindly set
up a WRF domain for Alaska using WRFSI, and did so
producing a non-standard polar stereographic projection.
This seems to give me problems when using the NCL
WRF examples - the actual data from the netCDF is
mis-placed relative to the geographic boundaries.

Specifically, some of the relevant parameters for my
projection are as follows. Note that CEN_LON is significantly
different than STAND_LON

                :WEST-EAST_GRID_DIMENSION = 320 ;
                :SOUTH-NORTH_GRID_DIMENSION = 225 ;
                :BOTTOM-TOP_GRID_DIMENSION = 75 ;
                :DX = 7500.f ;
                :DY = 7500.f ;
                :GRIDTYPE = "C" ;

                :CEN_LAT = 65.4f ;
                :CEN_LON = -160.2f ;
                :TRUELAT1 = 67.5f ;
                :TRUELAT2 = 1.e+20f ;
                :MOAD_CEN_LAT = 65.40001f ;
                :STAND_LON = -150.f ;

When I use the examples from

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/wrfpo.shtml

as templates, I get nice looking plots, but unfortunately
the data isn't in the right place. In particular, if I plot HGT
(terrain height) I end up with some of Alaska's most significant
mountains out in the ocean.

I've played around a bit and found that if I set my center longitude
to the value of STAND_LON, it looks a LOT better, but there's still
a sizable offset.

Does anybody know of a way to resolve this issue with NCL? It
seems like, at least in the examples, there is no mechanism for
specifying center and standard longitudes which are different.

Thanks,

Don
