Hi Phil:

<variable name="Volumetric_soil_moisture_frozen_and_liquid"
    orgName="Volumetric_soil_moisture_frozen_+_liquid" />

I am working TDS 4.3.21 and NcML to to fix an issue with "Volumetric
soil moisture frozen + liquid" showing up in the "Global Attributes" in
the OPeNDAP Dataset Access Form.

Let me start from the beginning.  With TDS 4.2.9 we saw this same
behaviour and renamed the variable this way...

<variable name="Volumetric_soil_moisture_frozen_and_liquid"
   orgName="Volumetric_soil_moisture_frozen_+_liquid" />

With 4.2.9 this fixes the issue with the garbled metadata in the Global
Attributes.  When this is added to the 4.3.21 catalog this happens...

Error {
     code = 500;
     message = "New variable (Volumetric_soil_moisture_frozen_and_liquid) must have 
datatype attribute";
};


After finding this I dug around in the code to add a type and added this...

<variable name="Volumetric_soil_moisture_frozen_and_liquid"
   orgName="Volumetric_soil_moisture_frozen_+_liquid"
   type="float" />

Then I get two variables, the original and the new one with the _and_ in the 
name, plus the Global Attributes metadata is still not correct.  I have even 
tried to remove the variable in multiple ways and it still shows up in the 
metadata as it is in the image above...

  <remove name="Volumetric_soil_moisture_frozen_+_liquid"
     type="variable" />

<remove name="Volumetric_soil_moisture_frozen_%2b_liquid"
     type="variable" />



Any help to fix this would be super!  :-D




Thanks!
