Re: [ferret_users] How to combine data into one time axis?

Hi All,

It works after adding a space in front of each $.

$FORMAT_RECORD
 D_TYPE = '  MC',
 D_FORMAT = '  1A',
 D_SOURCE_CLASS = 'Satellite',
$END

$BACKGROUND_RECORD
 D_TITLE = 'QuikScat Climatology 2000/01 - 2006/12',
 D_T0TIME = '15-JAN 00:00:00',
 D_TIME_UNIT = 2592000.0,
 D_CALTYPE = '360_DAY',
 D_TIME_MODULO = .FALSE.,
$END

$MESSAGE_RECORD
 D_MESSAGE = ' ',
 D_ALERT_ON_OPEN = F,
 D_ALERT_ON_OUTPUT = F,
$END

$EXTRA_RECORD
$END

$STEPFILE_RECORD
 s_filename = './JFM.nc',
 S_START = 0.0,
 S_END = 2.0,
 S_DELTA = 1.0,
 S_NUM_OF_FILES = 1,
 S_REGVARFLAG = ' ',
$END

$STEPFILE_RECORD
 s_filename = './AMJ.nc',
 S_START = 3.0,
 S_END = 5.0,
 S_DELTA = 1.0,
 S_NUM_OF_FILES = 1,
 S_REGVARFLAG = ' ',
$END

$STEPFILE_RECORD
 s_filename = './JAS.nc',
 S_START = 6.0,
 S_END = 8.0,
 S_DELTA = 1.0,
 S_NUM_OF_FILES = 1,
 S_REGVARFLAG = ' ',
$END

$STEPFILE_RECORD
 s_filename = './OND.nc',
 S_START = 9.0,
 S_END = 11.0,
 S_DELTA = 1.0,
 S_NUM_OF_FILES = 1,
 S_REGVARFLAG = ' ',
$END

$STEPFILE_RECORD
 s_filename = '**END OF STEPFILES**'
$END

Thank you very much,
Jian
