[ferret_users] change axis

[Chan Joo Jang <cjjang@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ferr users,

I got ARGO float data files from http://www.usgodae.org/cgi-bin/argo_select.pl .
 (One of those nc files is attached for your reference.)

Using some functions such as  RESHAPE, I tried to change original axis (n_prof, n_levels) to (time, depth) of TEMP (temperature), without any success.
 
In other words, I want to have TEMP(julian day, pres) instead of TEMP(n_prof, n_levels). All informations for julian day(juld) and depth (pres) are in the nc files.


Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome.
