[ncl-talk] plot IWP with small values

[Adam Phillips]

Hi Marston,
I believe NCL will always assign linear contours, but you can always alter
that behavior by explicitly setting the contour levels yourself:
res at cnLevelSelectionMode = "ExplicitLevels"
res at cnLevels = (/.0000001,.000001,.00001,0.0001,.001,.01,.1,1,10/)

If that isn't what you are after let ncl-talk know..
