Re: [ferret_users] Pseudo variables




Thanks Ansley, and as you said, maybe the user's guide could be more clearer as some reanalysis data too have temperatures denoted by the variable 'T'.

Hi -
You can use variables whose names are the same as reserved names, by putting the name into single quotes:

   FILL 'T'

Here, if the variable in the file is uppercase T, you must use an uppercase letter to refer to it.

The information on this is in the Users Guide, under "netCDF, variables, invalid names"
http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/documentation/users-guide/variables-xpressions/VARIABLES#_VPINDEXENTRY_244

I'll work on adding some more entries in the index to find this - under Pseudo-variables and Variable naming.

Hi,
   I am unable to plot/fill temperatures as in my datasets, the variable temperature is T itself. I got the following error:

**ERROR: command syntax: cannot transform pseudo-variables: D=dset1.nc
          use DEFINE VARIABLE (e.g. DEF VAR ii=i) and transform that
CONTOUR/FILL t_var

  So i just used something like tt = t; t_var=tt[d=dset1.nc] and once again got:

**ERROR: illegal use of transformation:  not all dimensions present on grid
CONTOUR/FILL t_var

  Please tell me which transform to use and how to use it.
