Re: [ferret_users] how to define time axis in plotting temp from an ascii file?

["'Sara Sari' via _OAR PMEL Ferret Users" <ferret_users@xxxxxxxx>]

Oh. never  mind.I found the script for it.

now could you please tell me how I can set my y axis to be depth. so that I can plot temp on depth and time axes... (yaxis =depth and xais=time)

I don't have any specific column for depth... I just have columns for temp of different depths...as I explained in my previous email.

Thank you,

Sara

Hello,

I have an ascii file that has 4columns in this order:

column 1: day number from 127 to 273(every 10min)

column 2: temperature of depth 1m

column 3: temperature of depth 5m

column 4: temperature of depth 9m

and has 21032 rows...

if I want to plot temp 1, I type this:

file/format=delim/skip=1/var="time,temp1,temp5,temp9"  west.csv
plot temp1

and it produces a plot of temp vs row numbers (attached file)...how can I define my time axis so that my plot is the temperature vs time(day).

I tried to use

define axis/t=127:273/npoint=21032/ units=days  day_axis
yes? let temp_on_time=temp1[gt=day_axis@asn]

plot temp_on_time

but seems I can't use this script here (probably because my file is ascii?).

this is my first question. and I'll ask my second one after I fix this part.

Thank you,

Sara
