Hi NCL-Talk,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am attempting to overlay contours of standardized Geopotential height over changes in standardized Geopotential height. All I want to have in the overlay is a zone of positive and a zone of negative values. But I am having trouble understand
 how this is working. Especially since the contour intervals do not make sense (in the example below).</div>
