[ncl-talk] weird error

[Karin Meier-Fleischer]

Hi Lara,

I can create the Temp variable and its named dimensions as you described 
without problems.
I attached my test script which should be the same as yours. The result is

[~/NCL/tests] > ncl define_named_dimensions.ncl

Variable: Temp
Type: float
Total Size: 1252800 bytes
             313200 values
Number of Dimensions: 3
Dimensions and sizes:    [time | 29] x [lat | 180] x [lon | 60]
Coordinates:
Number Of Attributes: 1
   _FillValue :    9.96921e+36

Try to run the attached script maybe there is an 'unvisible' typo like a 
Control character in your script.

Bye,
Karin
