Mary,

An example plot can be found at:

ftp.aoml.noaa.gov/phod/pub/sklee/pub/ncl-talk/climode.temp_65w.ps

Lines represent interface between two adjacent layers. In each layer,
the layer temperature varies horizontally. So, there can be
discontinuity at layer interfaces.

To get his plot, I had to interpolate layer temperature into
z-coordinate at 10m interval, then do raster filling. It looks ok.
But, I was wondering if there is a better way to do it.

A mathlab user told me that this can be achieved by using pcolor
function. Here is an example plot using pcolor:

Thank you.

P.S. BTW, this model is MICOM.
