[ferret_users] Plotting variable with alternate time axis

["Durack, Paul J." <durack1@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi there folks..

I have a super noob question which I've been unable to resolve without
assistance..

I have a variable which has a time coordinate in UTC, I want to plot this
using ferret with the time indicated automagically to show the local +10
(not UTC) time, so in effect adding 10hrs to each element of the time
axis.. I'm sure this is really simple, however I'm really struggling to
get my syntax correct


So I've tried:

[dir]$ ferret -nojnl 	NOAA/PMEL TMAP
	FERRET v6.82  
	Linux 2.6.32-279.1.1.el6.x86_64 64-bit - 08/03/12
	16-Jan-13 13:02  

yes? use infile.nc
yes? sh da
     currently SET data sets:
    1> ./infile.nc  (default)
name     title                             I         J         K
L         M         N
SOS      Sea Surface Salinity             1:192     1:189     ...
1:156     ...       ...
yes? show grid sos
    GRID GFG1
name       axis              # pts   start                end
LON       LONGITUDE          192mr   0E                   1.875W
LAT       LATITUDE           189 i   88.195S              87.24N
normal    Z
TIME      TIME               156 r   02-JUL-1850 12:00    02-JUL-2005
12:00
normal    E
normal    F
yes? let timeax = T[GT=sos]
yes? define axis/T timeaxnew=timeax+10
yes? show grid sos
    GRID GFG1
name       axis              # pts   start                end
LON       LONGITUDE          192mr   0E                   1.875W
LAT       LATITUDE           189 i   88.195S              87.24N
normal    Z
TIME      TIME               156 r   02-JUL-1850 12:00    02-JUL-2005
12:00
normal    E
normal    F


Now I have the data (sos variable) and I have my new time axis (timeaxnew,
which I presume has been incremented by 10 hrs), how do I now plot this
using the new axis?


I've been using:
yes? sha sos[l=1] ! How do I use a new time axis, or add 10hrs to each
timestep?


Some help cleaning up my syntax here would certainly be appreciated!

Cheers,

P
