Dear Ferret Users,
I have discovered that applying the @sum
transformation to a variable doesn't change the dimension of the variable in
some instances. Do you think this is a feature or a bug? Here is an example. I
am using a file test.nc (attached) and here is what I
get:
============================================================================
use test.nc
*** NOTE: Ignored modulo length exceeding axis length: XT
yes? sh da
currently SET data sets:
1> ./test.nc (default)
name title I J K L
SLAT sea level atmospheric temperatu 1:100 1:100 ... 1:1
yes? let slat_sum = slat[i=@sum]
yes? say `slat_sum, return = shape`
XY
yes? list slat[i=30,j=80]
 !
; VARIABLE : sea level atmospheric temperature (K)
