Hi Carl,

When you say barbs, arrows, and streamlines, I assume you mean *gridded data 
display* of wind fields, is that correct?  You also say "or images" in 
reference to wind data.  Does this mean that when you select a wind field from 
the product browser, right-click and "load as image", the image does not load 
correctly?

What about when you load SFC Temp/Winds from the Models menu?  Does the 
temperature field image load but not the winds?  Is the wind field disabled 
(shaded grey) in the product stack at bottom-right? 

Are there any relevant error messages in alertviz?
