[ncl-talk] overlay contour and vector

[Mary Haley]

Dear Ying Song,

In the future, it would help if you provide some information about the data
you are trying to plot, by doing a "printVarSummary" on it and including it
in your email:

printVarSummary(aod)
printVarSummary(u)
printVarSummary(v)

This helps us to see what kind of lat/lon grid your data is on, and what
the shape and type are.

Instead of trying to subscript your data for the area of interest, I
suggest plotting all of the data, but then use NCL's map resources to zoom
in on the area of interest. You are already zooming in on the area of
interest with these settings:

  res at mpMinLatF               = 30
  res at mpMaxLatF               = 45
  res at mpMinLonF               = -130
  res at mpMaxLonF               = -110

so I think all you need to change is to create the plots with the full data:

  contour = gsn_csm_contour_map(wks,aod,res)
  vector = gsn_csm_vector(wks,u, v, vcres)
  overlay(contour,vector)

There is one correction you need to make. You have:

  res at gsn_add_cyclic          = False

"gsn_add_cyclic" is not the correct resource. You want:

  res at gsnAddCyclic          = False

You should also set this for your vectors:

vcres at gsnAddCyclic = False
