[Matplotlib-users] plotting netcdf data on a map in matplotlib

[Jason Snyder]

The main issue I have is that the data does not plot properly.  There
evidently is an issue of matching coordinates in the data versus the map.
I am sending the netcdf file along with the script.  I am not sure how to
plot a map with data without using basemap since this is what provides the
continental outlines.  If you know of any way I can plot this data using
matplotlib successful let me know.
