Re: Fixed grid from ncep map plotting

By directly, you just use gsn_csm_contour_map_ce ?
The data doesn't seem to line up very well with the map background.
Do I need to set gsnAddCyclic = False and also set tfDoNDCOverlay = False?
Thanks for any help.

Below is the netcdf header of the data:
netcdf test {
dimensions:
    Time = UNLIMITED ; // (62 currently)
    lat_98 = 94 ;
    lon_98 = 192 ;
variables:
    float PRATE_98_SFC_ave(Time, lat_98, lon_98) ;
        PRATE_98_SFC_ave:forecast_time_units = "hours" ;
        PRATE_98_SFC_ave:forecast_time = 0 ;
        PRATE_98_SFC_ave:parameter_number = 59 ;
        PRATE_98_SFC_ave:parameter_table_version = 2 ;
        PRATE_98_SFC_ave:grid_number = 98 ;
        PRATE_98_SFC_ave:level_indicator = 1 ;
        PRATE_98_SFC_ave:_FillValue = 1.e+20f ;
        PRATE_98_SFC_ave:units = "kg/m^2/s" ;
