Hi Sriam,
I have just one more link to add to what Jaison sends. There are some
on-line demonstrations in html format. These show the same commands
as in the demo journal files, and you can see them at
http://www.ferret.noaa.gov/Ferret/on_line_demonstrations.html
I add my welcome to the Ferret community, and the Users list. This is
the
best place to get your questions answered, both by searching the
archives
of past questions and by posting your own queries.
The on-line users guide is another resource. Chapters 1 through 4
contain
the basic information about data, variables, and computation; Chapter 6
explains how to customize your plots.

Hi Sriram,
Welcome to Ferret users community. It is fairly easy to start with
Ferret. Ferret comes with a good documentation and many demo files to make the
learning processes as easy as possible.
You can see the demo files in ferret/examples dir. You can locate the ferret
dir by ==> [sriram@machine]$ which ferret . To run the demo files, start ferret
and use "GO" command to run the scripts(text file containing ferret commands)
in ferret/examples (no need to specify the path, ferret_paths will take care
of it.)
[sriram@machine]$ ferret
NOAA/PMEL TMAP
FERRET v5.80
Linux(g77) 2.4.20 - 01/03/05

yes? go file_reading_demo.jnl
You can see the description and details about the commands used to perform the
calculation or delivering the plot on the terminal, keep reading it. When
finished with the demo, type q/quit/exit/e to come out of ferret. These are
the demo files that you may find most usefull:
open & read ascii file ==> file_reading_demo.jnl
binary " ==> binary_read_demo.jnl
advanced usage ==> levitus_demo.jnl
==> multi_variable_demo.jnl
==> regridding_demo.jnl
==> statistics_demo.jnl
==> vector_demo.jnl
==> viewports_demo.jnl
You can skip the jnl extention in the demofile name, like
yes? go file_reading_demo
NetCDF file can be opened with use or set data command
yes? use levitus_climatology.cdf
yes? set data levitus_climatology.cdf
User manual, FAQ and mail archive serves as the best places to search for some
details about a ferret command or method. If that doesn't solve your problem
please do send mails to the mailing list with all neccessary details of your
problem.
Here is some usefull links :
