Hi Don,

I bet the Y-axis units are just in units of the number of vertical
levels you have. Do you have ~100 levels in the vertical?

Take a look at example #1 in the slice applications page:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/slice.shtml

By assigning your vertical (horizontal) coordinates to the sfYArray
(sfXArray), you should get the axis units correct.

Let us know if that doesn't work...
