Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

How would this work?  The geometry is different for each piece
of data and the data are added interactively. For each data item,
I need to do:
  a)  ScalarMap dataMap = new ScalarMap( gatevalue, Display.RGBA );
        display.addMap( dataMap );
  b)  display.addReference( data );
And since I can't call addMap when there is already a data reference,
I need to remove all references, and then re-add the maps, right?

What am I missing here?

yes, that was the problem -- made worse by the earth's curvature.
Since the two radar were far away, they had very different
ranges of z.  I changed to a lat-lon-ht representation and
the problem went away.  Thanks!
