Re: setting time axis

Marjolaine,

To get the desired time axis behavior, the variable "msla" must have
not only a dimension named "time", but also an associated time
coordinate variable that is proportional to real calendar time.

I suspect that's what you are missing. What do you get with the
following diagnostic just in front of your plot statement?

   print (msla&time(yearind))
   exit

"Please reply to the list."
