[ferret_users] DODS data reading

["Yogesh K. Tiwari" <ktiwari@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Ferret Users,

I am using ferret v5.80 in suse linux.

First time I am using DODS data server.

I tried to open the MODIS/AQUA-atmosphere 
(Level3, monthly grided)) aerosol optical 
depth data kept at the DODS server(after 
taking the url from the server) :-
