Hi Anne,<br>
<br>
you have to create the named dimension for time_counter and commit
the time_counter data:<br>
<br>
<font color="#3333ff"><tt> time_counter =
tofloat(time)</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> time_counter!0 = "time_counter"</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> time_counter&time_counter = time_counter</tt></font><br>
<br>
Bye,<br>

<div>in the attached script I am reading in a variable from a
file, and want to use it to define another variable with the
same dimensions, except for one that needs to have a different
size (time_counter; length 180 instead of 12). The output of
'ncdump' (see below) after reading to netcdf is nearly what I
want, except of the 'ncl3' line in dimensions, that is not
recognised as 'time_counter' as I wanted it to. In other
words, it would be perfect without the 'ncl3 = 180' line. I've
played around with this script in various ways but I just
don't arrive there. Maybe I'm overlooking something?</div>
<div><br>

<div>Any help appreciated!</div>
