Hi Ed,

First, I noticed that you have cnFillOn set to True, and then you have

  vcres@vcVectorDrawOrder = "Predraw"

Is it possible that the vectors are being drawn, but are covered up by the filled contours? If so, try changing the above "Predraw" to "Draw".

If this is not the problem, then the next thing I would check is if I have the lat/lon coordinate arrays set up correctly.

>From your script below, it looks like you're doing the right thing, because you have:

u_anom!0="lat" ;; Assign lat and lon coordinates to u_anom to enable plotting
u_anom!1="lon"
u_anom&lat=lat
u_anom&lon=lon

v_anom!0="lat" ;; Assign lat and lon coordinates to v_anom to enable plotting
v_anom!1="lon"
v_anom&lat=lat
v_anom&lon=lon

The next thing is to do a "printVarSummary" on u_anom and v_anom, as this will print out information about your variable, including the ranges of your lat/lon coordinate arrays. Also print out the min/max of these arrays, to make sure the values are about what you expect:

  printVarSumary(u_anom)
  printVarSummary(v_anom)
  print("min/max u_anom = " + min(u_anom) + "/" + max(u_anom))
  print("min/max v_anom = " + min(v_anom) + "/" + max(v_anom))

Take a close a look at all this output:

  - Do you have the _FillValue set correctly, if any?
  - Do the min/max values look about right
  - Are the lat/lon coordinate arrays in the correct range?

If none of this helps, then can you provide your data?
