Re: how to create netcdf from ascii files

[Joe McLean <joe.mclean@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Enils,

The Ferret documentation at
http://ferret.wrc.noaa.gov/Ferret/Documentation/Users_Guide/current/fer_html.htm
(look up ASCII data) has an explanation on accessing ASCII data.  The data you
show below has no Longitude or Latitude fields, how are the lat and lon
coordinates for each value determined?
