Hi all,
I've just installed the 4.0 alpha on an internal dev box and let some
user loose on it (yay!) One of them has found an interesting issue with
the NetCDFSubset service.
Firstly, when he tried to load a subset from the form, he got a 404 file
not found from his browser. Oddly enough, when I tried it on my
browser, I got a .nc file returned. When I opened up the file in vim,
it had the following message:
Bounding Box must have east > west; if crossing 180 meridion, use east
boundary > 180
Perhaps this should have the mime type of text? Even so, I wonder why
we had different browser behaviour (obviously, this is not related to TDS).
The second odd behaviour we saw was the default bounding box values, the
NetCDF subset form had the following box:
North: 88.5419
West: 0.0000
East: -1.8750
South: -88.5419
Which was why we got the bounding box error message. Looking at the
actual ASCII itself, the lon values were from 0.0 to 358.125, with an
interval of 1.875.
Are there missing values in the metadata? The das for Longitude is:
lon {
String units "degrees_east";
String long_name "Longitude";
Float32 actual_range 0.0, 358.125;
}
I've included the generated dataset.xml file too, in case if you can
spot anything.
Thanks :)
-Pauline.
