[ferret_users] time axis attribute "Time" not valid ?

["Paulo B. Oliveira" <pbo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I realized that the reason I'm not able to access the NEMO model results
using the thredds server is the "axis" attribute of variable "time". 

I found that by downloading the data using ncks and changing the "Time"
attribute to "T" using ncatted. (see LOG below)

It would be much better not having to download the data, so I wonder if
there is a way to tell ferret to accept the "Time" attribute.

Regards,

Paulo
