[ncl-talk] Creating netCDF file from ascii file

[Najib Yusuf]

Dear ncl users,
I have some ascii files from observation data (see attached please), I want to convert these file to netCDF file for easy comparison with model data. I am writing the codes but came across some errors as can be seen below, please help to put me through to correct the error and  complete my script. Thank you
