Hi Chuck,
Thanks for your response. Yes, I just checked: lon = 0,360.
Is there a way that I can change this so that I can plot the global map from lon -180 to 180 (with Europe in the middle)?
When I plot it at lon=0,360, the map is fine but America is in the centre and I need Europe in the centre.
Best,
Cara
