[ncl-talk] drawing satellite passes(14 per day)

Hi Ipsita,
It is very strange that you can draw each swath individually but when
overlaid one swath goes black. Can you upload the two data files to our ftp
site so one of us can take a look? Please follow the directions here:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/report_bug.shtml#HowToFTP

Note that for security reasons, you cannot list the contents of this
directory, and neither can we. We need to know the *exact *names of the
files in order to retrieve them.

Let me know when the files have been uploaded.
Thanks,
Adam
