Re: NCEP stageIV grib data plot

If you did a

%> ncl_filedump ST4.2008091307.01h.grib

you would see that when NCL reads the grib file it
adds the long_name anf units attributes.

prc = a->A_PCP_GDS5_SFC_acc1h

delete(prc@long_name)
delete(prc@units)

Given your plot, maybe

"NCEP stageIV 1-h precip valid 20080913_"+HH
delete(prc@long_name)
delete(prc@units)
res@gsnCenterString = "1-h precip (mm)"

see gsnCenterString resources at:

====
If you want to add a label to the label bar, see
