[Korus-forecasting] plotting domains

[Pablo Saide]

Hi all,

Following my last email, find attached sample plots for the three 
domains proposed. I changed them slightly, here are the new bounds:

1) 20-60 lat , 75-145 lon
2) 27-47 lat,  110-135 lon (now until 135 E as including Japan in this 
domain does not seem to be relevant)
3) 32-39 lat, 123.5-132.5 lon (now until 39 N to include whole South Korea)

In the past we have plotted vertical levels as pressure levels. Here are 
the levels I propose we use:
925mb  (~750m above sea level(ASL)), 850mb (~1.5 km ASL), 700mb (~3km 
ASL), 500mb (~5.5 km ASL)

let me know if you have comments/changes/additions etc.
thanks!
Pablo
