[ferret_users] fetching the time axis

[Ranjan Kumar Sahu <ranzan998@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'd like to fetch the time axis from a variable. Previously I have fetched variable info as shown in below approach:

yes? sh d

     currently SET data sets:
    1> ./BDD1A000DCnw1.nc  (default)
 name     title                             I         J         K         L
 uvel   Eastward Velocity                1:1       1:1       1:65      1:8109

yes? let t_len = `uvel,return=lsize`

 !-> DEFINE VARIABLE t_len=8109

As you see, there's a new variable t_len.

My aim is to fetch the time axis and subsequently define a time axis using it (I know how to create time axis from scratch, but in this case I already have time axis of a variable, so why not use it).
