Re: [ferret_users] put values to an array



Hi Jean,
There are a few ways to do this. If they're scalar variables and you just want them in a 1-D list, you could do this:
yes? LET var = {`v1`, `v2`, `v3`, ...}
which would put the data in a variable with index values 1:20. If you want to, you could then define another axis and regrid this variable to it with the @ASN regridding transformation.  

If you're generating them one at a time, another simple solution is to list them out to an ascii file, and then read them back in.
yes? let avg_t = ...   ! some _expression_ computing the 1st average
yes? list/noheader/norowheader/file=averages.dat avg_t

yes? let avg_t = ...   ! some _expression_ redefining the variable as the next average
yes? list/append/noheader/norowheader/file=averages.dat avg_t

...

And then read in those values from the file averages.dat, using whatever axis you want.

Hi All:

I wonder if there are ways that I can put values to an array which is not defined by the conventional dimensions of the ferret array. For example, I am doing an area integration of temperature over the pacific, but my integration is not over the entire region and it will be based on the temperature distributions. So, I might end up with 20 values and have
one value for each region. I'd like to put these 20 values into an array of size 20 and not to have 20 variables.    

I searched some old posts but couldn't find a good solution on this problem.

Thanks for your help!

Jean
