Re: [ferret_users] Delete dimension from variable

[Ryo Furue <furue@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ferret users,

|                       you can define a new grid
| like
| 
| let ngrd=x[gx=sosstsst]+y[gy=sosstsst]+t[gt=sosstsst]
| 
| let sst_n=reshape(sosstsst,ngrd)

Another idea:  The @MAX operator removes that particular dimension,
so we could do

   let temp_n = temp[k=1:1@max] 

to remove the K dimension.  I'm attaching a concrete example.

Regards,
Ryo
