Labelbar problem in panel plot

Hi everyone,

I've created a panel plot consisting of 6 maps, each using a different
colour table, based on the example panel_26.ncl from
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/panel.shtml . Below is the relevant
part of the script (the data files are too big to attach here and
involve a lot of modification at the beginning of the script).

The problem I'm having is that each dataset has a different scale, and I
want to manually set the levels and the colours for each map, so that
certain colours fall at certain values (eg white at 0, red for negative
values etc.) I've attached what I've managed to produce so far, so
hopefully this question will make sense!

If anyone has any suggestions of a way to achieve this, it would be much
appreciated!

Thanks,
Imogen
