Re: how to distinct variable T from axis T

[Steve Hankin <hankin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Yang,

See in the index of the users guide
(http://ferret.wrc.noaa.gov/Ferret/Documentation/Users_Guide/current/fer_html.htm)
see

     variable
         names, invalid, in NetCDF file

You'll find

     In some netCDF files the variable names are not consistent with
     Ferret's rules for variable naming. They
     may be case-sensitive (for example, variables "v" and "V" defined in
     the same file), may be restricted
     names such as the Ferret pseudo-variable names I, J, K, L, X, Y, Z,
     T, XBOX, YBOX, ZBOX, or TBOX,
     or them may include "illegal" characters such as "+", "-", "%",
     blanks, etc. To access such variable names
     in Ferret file simply enclose the name in single quotes. For
     example,

     yes? PLOT 'x'

     yes? CONTOUR 'SST from MP/RF measurements'
