Many thanks for the reply.

I'm not familiar with the AOML data, and my research on them hasn't yielded much at all.  I can't find a sample file to copy!

I created a text (.txt) file with the format in the help manual.  Then I go through the steps, and invariably get to 'Import failed'.

I've tried a few different variations on the help file suggested format, but to no avail.

Would it be possible to point me to a sample file, which I could test with, and then recreate with my own data?

As I said, I have no problem splitting the direction and speed data into zonal and meridional speeds.

Thanks in advance.

Import currents 
Allows a test file containing current data to be imported. For example, this allows the use of AOML analysis data.

Expedition will also ask for a file name to save the grib data to and a validity time.

The accepted format is:

Latitude Longitude Zonal meridional current speeds

57.77 -34.79 5.2 11.7

Current speeds are in cm/s.

Thanks Nick,

Still no joy.

Sorry - I didn't explain it well.  The example in the first post was only to demonstrate that I had data.

However, I have tried to many times to import the exact help file example format.  I've tried other variations too.  Commas, no commas, tab, no tab, headers, no headers, txt, csv.

Nevermind, I'll sit on this for a while, and in meantime, see if I can find a sample AOML current file.  Maybe someone else will offer a suggestion.

Thanks for your time.
