[ncl-talk] Modifying size of plot and titles

[Hyacinth Nnamchi]

Hi Setareh,

You can check the attached script and work from there, the resulting plot is also attached. It is based on data from here: https://psl.noaa.gov/thredds/dodsC/Datasets/ncep.reanalysis.derived/surface/air.mon.mean.nc. Note that the script plots January to December of the first year.

Best,

Hyacinth
