Assunto: Re: [ncl-talk] Adding time coordinate

Your script looks pretty good so far.  This does not look right:
    new_data = new((/nlat,mlon,toint(time(1))/),"float")

Try this:
    ntimes = dimsizes (time)
    new_data = new((/nlat,mlon,ntimes/),"float")

Always use printVarSummary when you are having problems with arrays; and look at dimensions, coordinates, attributes, and such.

Also, in the future, please show the *first* error received, and be sure to show exactly which line it occurs on.  Usually the first error causes more problems later, and it is harder to sort out.  I am not sure what happened this time, but that does not matter now.  Good luck.

Hi users,

I need to add the time information (preference in hh and mn) extracted from an ascii file to a new variable (new_data from script), but I am not having success.
Attached is the script I am trying using the function cd_inv_calendar and the error obtained:
fatal:No coordinate variable exists for dimension (time) in variable (new_data)

I appreciate some help to attach this information to my new variable
