Re: problem with plotting ECMWF data

Hi

You need to look at and understand your data bfore you plot it. From the
filename I can see your data is on a 0.75x0.75 degree grid. This means it
does not have a latitude point at 19 or 25 degrees north, since these are
not multiples of 0.75. When you ask NCL to take latitudes 19:25 it won't
take values outside that range, so you end up with the real range
19.5-24.75, does that make sense. If not, just print your latitude values
to see what I mean.

You can try just taking a larger area from your variable when you plot it,
or since you have already read it into memory you could omit the subsetting
altogether, setting the map region should be enough to constrain the plot
to the desired area.
