[ncl-talk] Scatterplot geolocation issue

I am running a scatterplot between two different files, but I am having
issues with indices. I have two different files, one file makes point (0,0)
as 90 degrees south and 180deg East. The other file  sets point(0,0) as 90
degrees south and 0 degrees east, thus when trying to plot the data as a
comparison, in this case (see image) AOD between two different files, you
can see there is a 180 deg phase shift. I am trying to find the easiest fix
for this. Below is a variable summary for each value: (I do see for var1 the
lon is specified -179.5..179.5, whereas X2x3 specifies 0.5...359.5). Any
help would be appreciated. I have attached the image, the script, and one of
the files. The other file is too large to send by email. Basically I'm
looking to fix the shift.
