Hi Ken,

Thanks for your help. My data is in 15 min intervals. I would think a
matrix is 2d but it still gives me the same error when I create a
matrix of temperature and depth! Is there an ideal way to format the
data to make this easier. What if I put all the data into a matrix of
time, depth, temp. OR separate into 3 vectors?
