Question about dashes and underscores in variable names

Hi, everyone,

I received a file with a complicated variable name:
gmo_tmax-days_above_threshold, which was not recognized by NCL and the
field was not plotted.
Then I changed the variable name and made two tests - one with a dash in
the name - which did not work, and another with an underscore - which
worked and the file was plotted.

I was wondering whether you have heard about issues with underscores in
variable names or dashes within variable names?

Thank you for your help on this.

Best regards,
Galia
