How are you displaying each parameter?

I just plotted 925 Rapid Refresh wind barbs on top of a Color-shaded
Plan View of Rapid Refresh Maximum Composite Radar Reflectivity (both
from the THREDDS server on motherlode.ucar.edu in an attempt to emulate
what you are describing), and I have no problems adjusting the vertical
position of the reflectivity or wind vectors.
In order to better understand what you are experiencing, please create
a zidv bundle (so we can work with the exact data that you are) and
publish it to the RAMADDA server on motherlode.ucar.edu.
Cheers,
Tom
