==============================
Create a three panel grid plot
==============================

An example which creates a three-panel plot of a gridded NEXRAD radar on a map
with latitude and longitude slices of the reflectivity.  The NCEP
North American regional reanalysis (NARR) pressure is plotted on top of the
grid.
