[ncl-talk] Point to 3-D data

[Rick Brownrigg]

Since these are simple datasets, without headers/footers, etc., I would use
the bash command "cat" to make one big file out of all of the individual
files, and then process that. It's a simple matter to read ascii files with
NCL and extract individual columns into array variables:

>From there, you can find the total number of observations by calling
"dimsizes()" on one of the column variables, and then do something like:

len = dimsizes(rar)  ;;where var is the extracted column 1
my3DVar = new((/len, 3), float)
my3DVar(:,0) = Var
my3DVar(:,1) = lon
my3DVar(:,2) = lat

If you want to save that to a file, see the various examples at:
