Hello Dingming,

This is most easily explained by example, then you can refine it according to
your artist's eye.  You can run the script below -- it will do what you have
requested using the Levitus Climatology data set that is distributed with
Ferret. Also, check out other examples in $FER_DIR/examples.

---------------------------------------

! define viewports for top and bottom panels
! "/text=..." is optional but scales the viewports consistently
define viewport/text=.6/y=.66,1 u13    ! upper 1/3
define viewport/text=.6/y=0,.67 l23    ! lower 2/3

! a taller, thinner window looks nicer ...
set window/aspect=1

! insert YOUR data set here ...
set data levitus_climatology

set region/X=160W/Y=45S:45N/L=1

set view u13
go magnify 1.2     		! optional
fill/levels=(0,30,2)/z=0:1000 temp

set view l23
go magnify 1.2    		! optional
fill/level/z=0:4000 temp
