Definition of lat/lon in a file.
With Excuses on people's time with a very basic problem I have, I
would like to request once more if someone can spare some of their
time to look at my definition of lat/lon in the native_2.ncl ncl script.
1. I have binary data (not GRIB, but written into binary by fortran)
converted through Grads (Lats4d) into NetCdf. Both the original binary
file and the NetCdf versions work in Grads but not in ncl. I assumed
it did not work because the file was binary (not GRIB).
2. I took model output data in GRIB and made a ctl with grib2ctl and
converted to NetCdf in Grads. It does not work in ncl.
3. I downloaded 850hPa temperature data (in NetCdf format) from the
NCEP reanalysis page. It does not work in ncl, but works in Grads.
In all the three cases above the error is the same, as below

fatal:Either file (f1) isn't defined or variable (Air) is not a
variable in the file
fatal:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 20 in file native_2.ncl
***********************************
Here is how I introduced the file
!!!!!!!!!
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl"
;*****************************************************
begin
 f1 = addfile("AirTempFeb11.nc","r")
 Air=f1->Air
 lat = f1->lat
 lon = f1->lon
 lat_len = dimsizes(lat)
 lon_len = dimsizes(lon)
; time = f1-> time
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would appreciate assistance, where am I making the mistake?
Appreciation
Zilore
