<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi Mary,<br></div> Thanks for your suggestions. I have modified my script as per your suggestion, but the issue is LH4 level dimension is in Km unit whereas, wscale level unit is in hpa. If I am trying to select the levels same for both the variable (say 25 levels for LH4 and for wscale) then both the plot is not covering same height.<br>
</div>Is there any way to solve this isuue? Can I convert my data variable LH4 from Km to hpa or wscale hpa to Km in ncl?<br><br></div>Thanks,<br></div>Ipsita<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<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></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.
