Re: [ferret_users] netcdf point datasets in ferret

Hi Ghansham,
You can certainly open these datasets, and work with the variables and 
attributes in the file. We are working on some tools ourselves to make 
use of some of these file types, but there is not yet much in the way of 
automatic handling of this data.  Watch for new capabilities in upcoming 
releases of Ferret.
