In fact, they are from the "default" palette, and appear to start with index 4 (as per cnRes@gsnSpreadColorStart = 4), and are for the most part every other color from the palette, with a few exceptions. Its as though the palette is not getting set to what you specified. Are you getting any errors/warnings about that?

No, I'm getting no errors on the pallete. I'm getting a warning on
int2p_n, but that's all.

> Also, please excuse my ignorance of the science, but the range of depth intervals is from 40 to 150m; is it possible parts of the 20C isotherm are at depths outside that range?

They shouldn't be, unless I've done something wrong. Depth should be:
0,
20,40,60,80,100,150,200,250,300,400,500,700,800,900,1000,1500,2000,2500,3000,3500
or, 22 levels that are NOT evenly spaced. I anticipate the 20C isotherm
would lie in the forst 4-6 levels but for really deep loop currents, it
can be a bit deeper...

Please help me out (I've stared at this 'til I'm cross-eyed): Where am I
limiting the levels?
