[ncl-talk] Can't overlay maps on a NAM (native grid)

[Barry Lynn]

Dave: Please see below.

But first: Here are the three components needed to test the program.

1) The file, 2) the ncl program, and 3 the get_ij.f, which has to be
wrapped.

Dave: You wrote:  "The problem is that both your individual plots are drawn
using a map projection. You should draw the contour_z field without the map
projection using "gsn_csm_contour". Then you will be able to do the
overlay without error."

If I remove the "map" from the second gsn_csm_contour command, I just get
those warnings again and no overlay.

Thank you,​
