[ferret_users] Direction of latitude in ferret

[Boyin Huang - NOAA Federal <boyin.huang@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

I have a SST file (sst.nc) in NetCDF (v4.1.1) whose latitude starts from the North Pole (This is known by ncdump).

I listed the SST using the following:
use sst.nc
list/file=sst.dat/i=1:360/j=1:180/format=stream/clobber sst

I found that the latitude starts from the South Pole in sst.dat file rather
than from the North Pole.

Is this right, Does the Ferret automatically flip the direction of latitude?

Thanks
