I am trying to plot velocity vectors of the geostrophic wind I have calculated using geopotential height. The final result is a blank plot for the quiver with lat and lon marked. I am unable to find the error. Kindly help me with the same.

Output is still not showing anything. No change.

@Mehak S Can you upload those files (using the paperclip button), so that we may reproduce the problem?
