[ncl-talk] Polar plots - Actual pole / Latitudes ?

[HELEN PARISH]

As requested, I am attaching a plot to illustrate what the issues are. As
you can see, it looks like the data should be present over the pole itself,
but seems to be overlaid by some kind of pole marker.

Also, I am unable to tell what the latitudes are on the plot.

Thanks,
Helen.
