Re: How to emphasis the upper ocean at xy plot?

Chen,

You can use the resources

   res@tmYLMode = "Explicit"
   res@tmYLValues = (/...list of values where you want a major tickmark/)
   res@tmYLLabels = "" + res@tmYLValues ; You can put whatever you want here,
                                                                       ; but it needs to be an array of the same length as res@tmYLValues

See example tm_2.ncl at:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/tickmarks.shtml

This is doing a similar thing for the X axis, using tmXBXXXX resources.
