Re: Question: Vectors over a map [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Hi Eunpa,

It would be better if we could work with your real data instead of
some dummy data.

Do you have a sample dataset that you are trying to plot variables
from? If so, can you
do an ncl_filedump on it and email me the output:

    ncl_filedump yourdata.nc

Thanks,

--Mary
