<br>
I've wrestled with this one quite a bit (and cursed that most of my<br>
research is in polar latitudes). Unfortunately, I don't have a simple,<br>
self-contained example since the "plot Greenland" part is embedded in a<br>
much bigger, quite specific-to-my-needs script. However, the following<br>
variables and resources should help you get started. Some adjustment<br>
may still be needed to get exactly what you want.<br>
minLon = -60<br>
maxLon = -25<br>
minLat = 58<br>
maxLat = 86.5<br>
res@gsnPolar = "NH"<br>
res@gsnTickMarksOn = False<br>
res@mpProjection = "LambertConformal" ; I like this rather than<br>
stereographic<br>
res@mpLambertMeridianF = (minLon + maxLon) / 2<br>
res@mpLimitMode = "LatLon"<br>
res@mpMinLatF = minLat<br>
res@mpMaxLatF = maxLat<br>
res@mpMinLonF = minLon<br>
res@mpMaxLonF = maxLon<br>
<br>
I then use gsn_csm_contour_map since I'm actually plotting data.<br>
gsn_csm_map might be all you need if you just want a map.<br>
<br>
If I remember correctly, it's hard to get good automatic lat/lon labels<br>
so I just don't bother (especially since I usually end up paneling lots<br>
of these together and I don't need the extra text). But I think the NCL<br>
site has some examples for adding lat/lon manually if you need it.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>
