Hi ferret users
I would like to create a plot that shows "time" in the x-axis (instead of latitude), depth on the y-axis, and then plot colors & contour lines using temperature information (just like in the mentioned Ferret Tour example).
Since the ascii file I have (attached below) has the temperature information at 10 and 0m depths for a particular lat&lon point, is there a way to represent this in "z-form" as a function of time? I guess that I am a bit confused on how to tell Ferret how to interpret the data (since it is different from a regular gridded netcdf file such as COARDS).

ASCII file contents:

A9 11/11/2013 14:30:35 21.34 27.69 564
A3 11/12/2013 12:10:37 20.47 27.39 652
A13 11/12/2013 14:20:38 20.34 26.69 653
A11 11/14/2013 18:30:39 20.12 26.8 653
The columns above represent:
line_#, date, time, temp_at_10m_depth, temp_at_0m_depth, daily_obs_#
set data/format=delimited/delim=" "/var="linenum,date,time,temp1,temp2"/type="text,date,time,num,num"/col=6 data3.asc
let tstep = date + time/24.
define axis/T/T0=1-jan-1900/UNIT=days ttaxis=tstep
let dummy = t[gt=ttaxis]
let var1 = reshape(temp1, dummy)
let var2 = reshape(temp2, dummy)
