how to define the time axis

["Yogesh K. Tiwari" <Yogesh.Tiwari@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Ferret users,

How to define the time axis of a netcdf file. I have monthly averaged 
atmospheric CO2 satellite data in a netcdf file which looks like :

************
name     title               I         J         K         L
 Stratospheric CO2          1:360     1:180     ...       ...
 Tropospheric Counts        1:360     1:180     ...       ...
 Tropospheric Background    1:360     1:180     ...       ...
 Tropospheric CO2           1:360     1:180     ...       ...
 Tropospheric Maximum Error 1:360     1:180     ...       ...
 Averaging Kernel           1:360     1:180     ...       ...
 TROPOPAUSE                 1:360     1:180     ...       ...
 Cloud Top Level            1:360     1:180     ...       ...
**************

As you see here the time axis L is not defined, whereas this data is 
monthly averaged for one month say Jan03.

Similarly I have separate files for the months :

Feb03,March03,.........Dec03.

All files looks same like above defined variables.

If I add all Jan to Dec file using save/append command then the 
concat.cdf file seems not working.

Kindly help me, I want to see the monthly variation of CO2.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
Yogesh
