Hi Tao:

I apologize, but I can't answer right now as I am traveling.

However, in order to provide ncl-talkers with enough information/data, you
can write out the data grid (lat/lon) you are trying to plot on from WRF,
and upload one time step of it (or two).  You should also upload the radar
data.

;---Write wrf variables lat/lon to file for ncltalk.nc


    system("rm -f file_for_ncltalk.nc")
     fout = addfile("file_for_ncltalk.nc","c")
     fout->xlat      = xlat
      fout->xlong     = xlong
