Hello Saurabh,
It definitely can handle point location station data, but I read these data in differently to gridded data.
I read them in as a .txt or .dat file in column format using the set data command. So instead of having a gridded data with 2+ dimensions on each variable, you read in all information (variables and dimensions) as 1D variables.
It gives you something that looks like:
I J K L
Lat 1600 . . .
Lon 1600 . . .
Dep 1600 . . .
MyVariable 1600 . . .

Thank you Ansley,
For providing the update.
I was wondering that do we (Ferret) have capability to handle station data ? I have asked this question few weeks ago when I was working on a research voyage data of CTD bottle sample and Shipboard CTD along the track of ship. Russ and you also suggested some solutions to get a proper netcdf file for such data but I didn't understand anything.
And one more thing I also want to compute neutral density surface so is there any function available for that ?
Cheers, Saurabh

Hi all
A new PyFerret and Ferret v7.4.4 are available:
https://github.com/NOAA-PMEL/PyFerret/releases
https://github.com/NOAA-PMEL/Ferret/releases
The main purpose of this release is to link with netCDF 4.4.1.1; some datasets and url's cannot be used correctly with the newer netCDF 4.6 library.
There are also a few bug fixes, including several items reported in the Ferret List. We'll answer those threads to let you know what was done.
Finally, there's a new default color palette for Ferret. A number of you have been urging this for a while and we have become convinced. The new default colormap is "viridis", which is a Perceptually uniform colormap . I've attached an example plot.
You can always change your color palette in any of these ways:
- For a single command, with the /PALETTE qualifier:
SHADE/PALETTE=centered_diff wind_speed- For the current session with the PALETTE command:
PALETTE rnb2 ! use rnb2 for subsequent commands unless /palette qualifier is used- For all your PyFerret or Ferret sessions, by putting a PALETTE command into a .ferret startup file.
And see the FAQ's for more discussion of color palettes. We'll be adding more there, including examples of some of the nice ones available.
