<p>Dear Mary,</p>

</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your help. I wondered if I could ask you another question. I have unmatching lat/lon on the left and right graphs(example attached) when I am using <span>gsn_csm_xxxx to plot moving domains. What might be the problem for that? </span></p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am trying to make some dbz plots with multiple files of a moving domain. The contour line seems right and moving centered on the storm but all the graphs that I created have exact same background which is not right since my domain is a moving one. What
should I do I am dealing with a moving domain? Is there a certain function I should or should use? I have attached my script, hope some one could give me some help.</p>
