[ncl-talk] Map Coming Up Short

[Barry Lynn]

Hi:

Thank you for your suggestion.

I used gsn plotting routines, since these don't have any special gimmicks
that are hard to override.

Note, the right hand side shows that the overlay of snowh_rate_dom does not
reach the rhs boundary. I can move the boundary, but the distortion remains.

This is basically the same code that Mary worked on before, but it reads
the WRF data directly and added some additional measures to improve the
surface map.
