Re: Plot WRF field at LambertConformal projection

Hi Xin,

To zoom in on the map, you can no longer set tfDoNDCOverlay to True, unless you reset all the map parameters to reflect the new map projection. There's a special way of doing this if you are using wrf_xxxx plotting functions, but it looks like you are using gsn_xxx plotting functions.

Please see example WRF_lc_2.ncl at:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/wrflc.shtml

and see what it does with XLAT and XLONG:

      x@lat2d = f->XLAT(0,:,:) ; direct assignment
      x@lon2d = f->XLONG(0,:,:)

You will also need to set res@gsnAddCyclic to False, if you haven't already.
