Re: [ferret_users] Orthographic projection - variable from 1-degree model

["Ansley C. Manke" <ansley.b.manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
 
This looks to me as if it may be an incomplete file, which should have 
separate variables containing longitude and latitude coordinate data. 
Did you write out test.nc from a larger file?  If so, did the original 
file have 2-D variables, on the same grid as SSH, with units of 
longitude and latitude?  If so, see the documentation about "curvilimear 
coordinates".
 
If your data is on a curvilinear grid, it can be plotted using a map 
projection.  See this FAQ:
 
../../faq/curvilinear-data-in-map-projections
