[Wrf-users] ncl plotting resources

[Matthew Fearon]

Hello,

I'm using NCL plotting routines to plot WRF output. My script is below and works pretty well. However, I would like to control the font height on lat/long labels and more importantly the color fill of inland water bodies. mpInlandWaterFillColor and mpLandFillColor fail to work once wrf_map_overlays is called. Is there a way to control these resources and how would I do it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Matt
