Hi Robert, re: >I'm having the same problem when I want to plot model 1km AGL simulated >radar reflectivity, with 925mb wind vectors overlaid. The vectors are >buried under the radar reflectivity plot, and neither of those fields allow >me to change the elevation. How are you displaying each parameter? re: >Turning off "Use 3D View" in preferences fixes >that, but then I end up with the map being buried under everything else, >with no way to change the elevation of the map. I just plotted 925 Rapid Refresh wind barbs on top of a Color-shaded Plan View of Rapid Refresh Maximum Composite Radar Reflectivity (both from the THREDDS server on motherlode.ucar.edu in an attempt to emulate what you are describing), and I have no problems adjusting the vertical position of the reflectivity or wind vectors. In order to better understand what you are experiencing, please create a zidv bundle (so we can work with the exact data that you are) and publish it to the RAMADDA server on motherlode.ucar.edu.
