Re: High resolution coastilines in wrf_map_overlays function?

Dear Mary,

Thank you very much for your mail.

I was able to achieve that after figuring out a few more sample NCL scripts
on coastlines. However, I have another query: I had attended your webinar
and have downloaded the shapefiles for my country. However, I am not sure
how to overlay them upon my WRF output which I plot using the
wrf_map_overlays function.

I am not able to turn on the National boundaries on for India. Please help
me do that with or without using shapefiles. Another issue is: My wrf data
is on a Mercator projection but the shapefile seems to be in a lat-lon
rectangular projection. How do I then use it in my wrf plots?

Many thanks in advance
