The dataset http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gens/gens20110825/gec00_00z is not accessible by me so it is difficult for me to fix. If you have some other data set that is externally accessible and fails in the same way, please send that url to me. =Dennis Heimbigner Unidata Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: WPU-258955 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
