Dennis,
Thanks very much. I have seen that barbs are drawn correctly for he
southern and northern hemispheres on the link you gave.
 I am drawing WRF output. My domain is entirely in the southern hemisphere
but barbs are on the left. I use one of the sample wrf scripts which plots
several levels in one script, though now I cannot remember which one.
The barb color change works.
Once more, thank you very much.
