All,
I have an application which connects to OPeNDAP servers and allows the user
to subset the selected dataset and then retrieve a local copy of the desired
data. The application works well with most datasets that are gridded as
long as the GridDataset contains GeoGrids. However there are some datasets
that don¹t work for some reason, despite the fact that they are
DataType=Gridded.
Here is the url for one such dataset:
http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov:8085/thredds/dodsC/oceanwindsmon
The line I¹m using to generate a GridDataset (from which GeoGrids are
obtained) is:
GridDataset gds =
(GridDataset)TypedDatasetFactory.open(thredds.catalog.DataType.GRID, ncd,
this, errlog);
Where ncd is the NetcdfDataset pointing to the OPeNDAP data and errlog is a
StringBuffer for recording any errors (of which there never are any).
The only information I can glean from stepping through my code comes from
the ³parseInfo² field of the GridDataset. It is as follows (for the dataset
mentioned above):
"GridDataset look for GeoGrids
u(time, zlev, lat, lon) check CS zlev time lat lon: NOT complete
v(time, zlev, lat, lon) check CS zlev time lat lon: NOT complete
w(time, zlev, lat, lon) check CS zlev time lat lon: NOT complete
"
I¹m hoping there¹s another more ³robust² method for generating a GridDataset
from a url as this is not the only dataset that this occurs with, so a
solution for this particular dataset isn¹t of much use.
Any help/advice is most appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Chris
