Hi,
I'm trying to shade a variable (e.g. temp) at the deepest depth (highest k level) not including missing values.  I've been able to define and shade a variable (kmax) by using the following:
let kmax3D = k[g=temp] + 0*temp ! an XYZ field of K masked by bottom
let kmax = kmax3D[k=1:33@max] ! if 33 is number of vertical levels
This variable (kmax) correctly represents the deepest depth at each x,y data point, but how do I tell Ferret to use kmax as the k when shading temp?
I've tried the following, but to no avail:
shade temp[k=kmax] 
I'm sure there is a way to do this, but I can't seem to figure it out.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Jaclyn Clement
