[ferret_users] Adding elevation as fourth dimension



Hello All,

I'm sure this is an easy problem but I've not found a solution in the
archives and am having a bit of problem conceptualizing how to combine
irregular elevation points and temperature data.  I want the end product to
be tmp(depth,time,lat,lon).

Thanks in advance, Barry

Here are the headers from each.

************* Temperature **************
netcdf tmp {
dimensions:
    LON = 168 ;
    LAT = 208 ;
    TIME = 360 ;
variables:
    double LON(LON) ;
        LON:units = "degrees_east" ;
        LON:modulo = 360. ;
        LON:point_spacing = "even" ;
        LON:axis = "X" ;
    double LAT(LAT) ;
        LAT:units = "degrees_north" ;
        LAT:point_spacing = "even" ;
        LAT:axis = "Y" ;
    float tmp(TIME, LAT, LON) ;
        tmp:missing_value = -9999 ;
        tmp:long_name = "Average Temperature 1971-2000" ;
        tmp:history = "From Interpotlated Historical Data Set" ;
}

************** Elevation ******************
netcdf elev2d {
dimensions:
    row = 208 ;
    col = 168 ;
variables:
    short elev(row, col) ;
        elev:long_name = "Elevation" ;
        elev:units = "meters" ;
}
