[ncl-talk] Wrong values getting on contour plot

Hi:

You need to reply to all, or they will get lost.

What do you imply by "mean sea level pressure?"  Do you imply that the
pressure is averaged?

It is not hard to find the minimum in an data field, so please just clarify
and I will try to help you.

It is hard for me to correct other people's code, but I can send you code
that should work to identify the minimum sea level pressure, or at least
help you to adapt your own.

Barry
