-NCL_vector_5.py
-===============
- A vector pressure/height plot
-
-This script illustrates the following concepts:
-   - Using streamplot to resemble curly vectors
-   - Drawing pressure/height vectors over filled contours
-   - Using inset_axes() to create additional axes for color bars
-   - Interpolate to user specified pressure levels
-   - Using the geocat-comp method `interp_hybrid_to_pressure <https://geocat-comp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_api/generated/geocat.comp.interp_hybrid_to_pressure.html#geocat.comp.interp_hybrid_to_pressure>`_
-   - Using a different color scheme to follow `best practices <https://geocat-examples.readthedocs.io/en/latest/gallery/Colors/CB_Temperature.html#sphx-glr-gallery-colors-cb-temperature-py` for visualizations
-
-See following URLs to see the reproduced NCL plot & script:
