Sorry, let me clarify a bit -- the code block I show below is what I used when I got the results described in the earlier email (i.e., wind vertical profile remained in same x-position, but wind barbs on the vertical profile went away), that is, I keep the original code, but just add the xpWind=60 line as an override --   ypWind = skewty (pw)            xpWind = new (dimsizes(pw), float)            if (isatt(localOpts,"xpWind")) then                   xpWind = skewtx (localOpts_at_xpWind , skewty(1013.) ) ; location of wind barb            else                  xpWind = skewtx (45. , skewty(1013.) ) ; location of wind         barb            end if   xpWind = 60   So maybe there is another attribute to move the vertical wind profile bar farther to the right so as not to have it obscured by the temperature/dewpoint plot?  Or a more appropriate setting for it?   --Steve   ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: steve kirby <thin_runner_at_yahoo.com> To: Paula Doubrawa Moreira <pmoreira_at_alaska.edu> Cc: "ncl-talk_at_ucar.edu" <ncl-talk_at_ucar.edu> Sent: Monday, August 29, 2011 1:20 PM Subject: Re: skewT Paula, Thanks for that reference.  However, I tried this, (in skewt_func.ncl): ; note, the original block is below            ypWind = skewty (pw)            xpWind = new (dimsizes(pw), float)            if (isatt(localOpts,"xpWind")) then                   xpWind = skewtx (localOpts_at_xpWind , skewty(1013.) ) ; location of wind barb            else                  xpWind = skewtx (45. , skewty(1013.) ) ; location of wind         barb            end if     ;here's where I tried to set xpWind to a new value                      xpWind = 60 yet, the vertical wind profile location remained the same, but the barbs went away leaving just a vertical line. --Steve             From: Paula Doubrawa Moreira <pmoreira_at_alaska.edu> To: steve kirby <thin_runner_at_yahoo.com> Cc: "ncl-talk_at_ucar.edu" <ncl-talk_at_ucar.edu> Sent: Monday, August 29, 2011 11:34 AM Subject: Re: [ncl-talk] skewT Use the resource xpWind  ; "x" location for windbarbs dataOpts_at_xpWind =42 ; default=45 from http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/skewt.shtml On Mon, Aug 29, 2011 at 9:16 AM, steve kirby <thin_runner_at_yahoo.com> wrote: Hello, > > >I'm using wrf_SkewT.ncl to generate skewT plots from WRF data.  All is well except that the vertical profile of wind speed and direction (wind barbs) is overlaid by the temperature/dew point temperature plot (the green and white shaded area), below 5km.   My best guess is that the positioning is setup in: >$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/skewt_func.ncl > >in that, I do see a couple of references, >xWind=skewtx(45.,skewty(presWind(0))) >sx(0:npres-1)=xWind; "x" location of wind plot > > > >but not being versed in NCL I wouldn't know how to change the positioning correctly.
