Sorry, dlat is what changes
an example file can be found at
http://www.ocean.udel.edu/CMS/moliver/20071003.276.0237.n17.nc
use
require(ncdf)
f <- open.ncdf("20071003.276.0237.n17.nc"<http://www.ocean.udel.edu/CMS/moliver/20071003.276.0237.n17.nc>
)
lon <- get.var.ncdf(f, "lon")
lat <- get.var.ncdf(f, "lat")
Thanks in advance
Matt
