[ncl-talk] NCL error managing SCM output

Hi Paolina,

I don't see in your script where or what is calling for that colormap?   In
any case, it sounds like its not being found.  Do you have an environment
variable NCARG_ROOT set?  If so, the colormap should reside in
$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/colormaps -- do you see a file named
"BlueWhiteOrangeRed.rgb" there?

Rick
