[1] s(3,:,:,{70})

Presumably, s(time,level,lat,lon)

*3*  =>  fourth time step [NCL indices are 0-based]

*:,:* => all levels, all latitudes

*{*70*}  *=> 70 longitude
*              {...}    *please read about coordinate subscripting

re:  Plot=*gsn_csm_pres_hgt_vector*(wks,s(3,:,:,{70}),u(3,:,:,{70}),v
(3,:,:,{70}),res)
      Is this averaging vertical column at 70E?

      No. This is a plot function, it is plotting level x latitude. You can
do:

      *printVarSummary*( u(3,:,:,{70}) )

     Also, see:

      http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/height_lat.shtml#ex7

re: Secondly, if I want to plot 4 time steps in a panel (1x4) then how to
change the above lines?


      u=*short2flt*(in->t(15:18,:,::-1,20:80))
      *printVarSummary*(t)                              ; what do you see?

      dimu = *dimsizes*(u)
      ntim = dimu(0)

     Generate one plot for each time step

     There are many panel examples at: http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/
Applications/panel.shtml
     Please examine this carefully.

      plot = *new*(ntim,"graphic")
      do *nt*=0,ntim-1
           plot(nt) = *gsn_csm_pres_hgt_vector*(wks,s(*nt*,:,:,{70}),u(*nt*
,:,:,{70}),v(*nt*,:,:,{70}),res)
       end do
