<div dir="ltr">Hi Anne,<div>That is strange. Testing here shows that the vertical tickmarks slip to longitude labels as you shift away from the equator. There is a solution though.</div><div><br></div><div>Take a look at example #9 here:</div><div><a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/mptick.shtml#ex9">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/mptick.shtml#ex9</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>I used the <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap">add_map_tickmarks2 function at the top of that script to successfully add tickmarks to your script. (See attached script and plot.)</span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap">With regards to the shape of the plot: NCL will not distort the aspect ratio of the plot unless you tell it to, one way or another. Setting the mpCenterLatF and mpCenterLonF (in the satellite projection) is one way. A cleaner way is to set mpShapeMode = "FreeAspect", which transfers the exact size of the resulting map plot to the vpWidthF/vpHeightF resources.</span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap">Hope that helps!</span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap">Adam</span></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 12, 2017 at 8:23 AM, Anne <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:anne.seidenglanz@unive.it" target="_blank">anne.seidenglanz@unive.it</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi everyone,<div><br></div><div>I am using the satellite projection to plot some surface field in the Barents Sea.
