<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I'm a bit confused by the code, because the "LH4" variable purposely has all the metadata stripped off by this command:</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"> LH4=(/L3*24/)</div><div style="font-size:small"><div><div><br>You want to preserve metadata, especially coordinate arrays, if you are going to be plotting and/or overlaying variables.</div>
<div><br></div><div><div> LH4=L3</div><div> LH4=L3*24 ; preserve metadata</div></div><div><br></div></div><div>You also want to do this for "wscale":</div><div><div><br>
wscale=W <span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span> ; Trick for copying metadata </div><div> wscale=W*scale</div></div><div><br></div><div>The above two lines could also be done like this:</div>
<div><br></div><div><div> wscale=W*scale</div><div> copy_VarMeta(W,wscale) ; Copy all metadata from W to wscale</div></div><div><br></div><div>Another issue is you are plotting LH4 using "gsn_contour" instead of "gsn_csm_contour". You want to use "gsn_csm_xxxx" scripts where possible, because they examine your variable to check for metadata, and will use that metadata, including coordinate arrays, to correctly plot it.<br>
</div></div><div style="font-size:small"><br></div><div style="font-size:small">Even with these corrections, the overlay is not going to work properly because your "lev" coordinate array is different in for your LH4 variable than it is for your wscale/U variables. In order for "overlay" to work, your X/Y coordinate arrays must be in the same data space.</div>
<div style="font-size:small"><br></div><div style="font-size:small">For LH4, note that the "lev" values go from 0 to 14:</div><div style="font-size:small"><br></div><div style><div style>Variable: LH4</div><div style>
