Re: problem opening indexed files within loop?

Hi Leslie,

I am guessing that each cruise has a different number of timesteps,
which is causing the code to crash when it tries to put time (from
cruise 2) into a predefined time array set from cruise 1.

Simply delete the time array at the end of your do loop via a:
delete(time)
. You might have to delete the lat and lon arrays if those are different
from cruise to cruise as well.
