wrf_map() doesn't put terrain in right place

Hi, here's another problem I've been running into lately -
it's very similar to one I had last summer, that you all helped
me find a fix for.

I'm trying to use the newer wrf NCL functions, as I really like
their potential ease of use. However, in trying to do a simple
terrain plot on a WRF nest, the terrain ends up in the wrong
place. The script is available at

<http://weather.arsc.edu/Miscellaneous/NCL/Maps/wrfHGT-1.ncl>

and the input data, "wrfoutd02.nc" is in the same directory.
The resulting image is at

You can see that the Alaska Range has moved to the Gulf of Alaska.

This is presumably because the WRF output file represents an inner
nest of a larger domain, and in this nest the Standard Lon and the
Center Lon are different. This "seems" like a common occurrence to me,
unless you place the nest smack in the middle of the parent?

Last summer, you all helped me fix this issue, and such a
script exists at

<http://weather.arsc.edu/Miscellaneous/NCL/Maps/wrfHGT-2.ncl>

with resulting image at

<http://weather.arsc.edu/Miscellaneous/NCL/Maps/Image2.jpg>

I tried playing around with some resource settings for the wrf_map()
functions, but couldn't get anything to work.

Thanks,

Don
