Re: how to adjust the tick mark on map

Dear Ziqiang

Will you try either (1) or (2)

(1)
  res@tmYLMode = "Manual" ; Manually set tickmarks on Y axis
  res@tmYLTickSpacingF = 1 ; Only set spacing, not start/end

(2)
  res@tmYLMode = "Explicit" ; Set labels for YL axis
  res@tmYLValues = (/ 30, 31, 32, 33/)
  res@tmYLLabels = (/"30N", "31N", "32N", "33N"/)

#1 works usually, but I used # (2) when I plot hovmoller diagram

If either of them does not work, could you send your code for plotting part?

Thanks
Have a great day!
