Hi Dave:

Thank you for your suggestions.

I found something under "profile plots."  The first example here is similar
to what I am looking for.

http://www.hao.ucar.edu/modeling/tgcm/NCL/Graphics/profile.shtml

 Note, Ozone is a function of height.  Hence, the ozone concentration is
plotted against the x axis, rather than the y axis as shown in the examples
on

https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/xy.shtml

Perhaps there is an appropriate example on your "ncl" page as well?
