[ncl-talk] Mapping issue on Polar Stereographic projection over Antarctica

[Bill Ladwig]

Hi Deniz,

Try changing your mpCenterLat parameter to -90.0. Since you're doing Polar
Stereographic (and not the more general Stereographic that NCL uses), you
don't want the projection center latitude to be your grid center latitude.
The projection center latitude needs to be a pole (90.0 for Northern, -90.0
for Southern).

Hope this helps,

Bill
