I see, perhaps the single quotes allow you to view INPUT variables, but
not output to a file. Unless someone has a more elegant solution, then,
you could proceed in 2 steps:
(1) Rename the variable to something like "VAR_OUT" and dump that to the
NetCDF file.
(2) Outside of Ferret, rename VAR_OUT in the NetCDF file to T. I
typically do this using the NCO utility "ncrename".
Hope that helps,
