I think it has something to do with the "extent" resources. I'm hoping Dave will weigh in here. I think you should be able to run this script yourself, just substitute your own WRF output file.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">If you continue to have problems with this, then you may want to consider using gsn_csm_contour_map to plot your data instead.
