Re: High resolution coastilines in wrf_map_overlays function?

Hi Tabish,
Please see the previous ncl-talk email that I sent to Hanna (+ncl-talk)
about a 1/2hr ago. She was using wrf_map_overlays and drawing shapefile
output as well. The different projections should not be a problem..

If you have any further questions please respond to ncl-talk only.
