Re: [ferret_users] ASCII read issues



Sam, just a couple of quick commnets:  The first thing I'd try is to NOT specify the lat and lon increments, but instead use the NPOINTS paramater in the define axis command.  That's because ferret only uses single precision to do the math in setting up the axes, and that's only good to 7 sig. figs.  So a define axis command might look like this:

define axis/X=26.375W:56.584E/npoints=9955/unit=degree xlong
define axis/Y=41.5S:38.175N/npoints=9561/unit=degree ylat

See if that helps.  Then there might be, need to be, or not to be a branch cut at the prime meridian.  If so, you'd use the /mod parameter when defining the x axis.
