    Hi Jason,

    I'm CC-ing my answer to this question to "ncl-talk" as well, since
    that's an email group specifically for NCL questions.

    One way you can turn off this string is to set the special gsn
    resource called "gsnLeftString" to "":

        res@gsnLeftString = ""

    The gsn_csm layout, along with some of the the resources that
    affect it, is documented at:

    Cheers,
