Another Mapping Question

[Jeremy S Pal <jpal@xxxxxxx>]

  Hi again -

I have some data that are on an global equal-area grid.  Hence, the number
of longitudes at a given latitude vary.  More specifically, the number of
equal-area cells varies from 3 at the poles up to 144 at the equator.
Can ferret handle this sort of grid?  If so, can you explain the form that
I need to put the data into for my NetCDF file?  I have attached some
information on the grid below.

  Thank you for your time,

  - Jeremy
