[IDV #UFY-100888]: el nino favorite

Hi Bill-

The problem is that the El Nino bundle sets the vertical scale
to be -200 to 20 m so when you try to display data that above
the surface from the GFS, it ends up plotting in front of
the front clipping plane.  You can either:

- reset the vertical scale to be 0 to 16 km
- zoom way out to see the other levels. ;-)

Restarting the IDV resets the vertical scale. This is an issue that 
has no good solution. If you have any suggestions, let us know.
