Title: Listing gridded data to triplets

Hi,

I’m sure this question has arisen before, but I haven’t found the answer in the archive. I am using Ferret to analyze some data that is read in from gridded netCDF files with the resulting grid being (I,J,T). How can I get Ferret to list the results to a text file with each line containing the indices for time, I and J followed by the value? Each line would only contain data from one grid cell and time, first incrementing by the locations, and then incrementing by the times. Essentially, it would be something like the following for a 2x2 grid:

    t1   i1   j1   value(i1,j1,t1)
    t1   i1   j2   value(i1,j2,t1)
    t1   i2   j1   value(i2,j1,t1)
    t1   i2   j2   value(i2,j2,t1)
    t2   i1   j1   value(i1,j1,t2)
    etc.

The ordering of the I and J isn’t important, as long as it is predictable. I hope that makes sense.

Thanks for any suggestions!

-Bill
