Re: getvardims show missing dimension; but in fact, there is one dimension with printVarSummary

Yi-Chih,

In NCL, each dimension of an array may have a name. The dimension names
are optional. If a name has not yet been assigned to a dimension, then the
function "getvardims" returns the string "missing" for that dimension.
 This is why you are getting this result.

For more information on dimension names, please read:
