[ncl-talk] overlaying data on the map

Dear alll ncl users,

I try to make a plot of overlaying the wind speed (vector) and the ozone
concentration (contour) on the map. The wind speed vector is from MCIP
output and ozone concentration from CMAQ model. No error message occurs but
I get blank on the map(attached). Is something wrong in my script? Thx in
advance.

Joe
