[Ansley Manke <ansley.b.manke@xxxxxxxx>]

This is a Forwarded message from Akshay Hegde, a new user who had some trouble subscribing to the List.
We've got the List membership straightened out, but I thought I'd forward the question on to the Users List so we don't have to wait another day for people to see it.

Akshay, I added to the subject line of your original message, so that people will know something about the topic of your message.

Here's the question:

1. How to plot T-S Plot(with Density Lines) in ferret, How to calculate density in ferret
2. How to create netcdf file in ferret if the data file is is in following format

Here data file consisting three station data  temperature, salinity varying with depth and time, latitude and longitude of each station are constant for station, and it varies as station changes ( station 1 =long=68.033, station 2=long=69....so on)
