For now, I want to plot seasonal winds (DJF and JJA). Later on I shall overlay them
on maps.

code snippet
;
;
 mres@pmTickMarkDisplayMode = "Always"
 mres@tfDoNDCOverlay = True
 mres@gsnAddCyclic = False ; regional data
 mres@gsnFrame = False ; don't advance frame yet
 mres@gsnDraw = False ; don't draw yet
 mres@lbLabelBarOn = False ; no individual label bar

 mres@vcRefAnnoOrthogonalPosF = -1.0
 mres@vcRefMagnitudeF = 10.0
 mres@vcRefLengthF = 0.045
 mres@vcGlyphStyle = "CurlyVector"
 mres@vcMinDistanceF = 0.017

  plot = new(4,graphic) ; create a plot array
  mres@gsnLeftString = "DJF 1000mb U wind"
  plot(0) = gsn_csm_vector_map_ce(wks,ua1_noag_DJF,va1_noag_DJF,mres)

  mres@gsnLeftString = "JJA 1000mb U wind"
  plot(1) = gsn_csm_vector_map_ce(wks,ua1_noag_JJA,va1_noag_JJA,mres)
