Hi Mary,

Sure, I put the data in your ftp, in incoming, it is a file with the
name *mda8.surfO3.EU.2000.2009.settabs_JJA.nc
<http://mda8.surfO3.EU.2000.2009.settabs_JJA.nc>*

I am using the 6.2.0 ncl version and Debian 3.2.60-1+deb7u1 x86_64
GNU/Linux for the system.

Again, thanks a lot for the help.

Noelia
