All,
Two questions:
First, regarding
http://eclipse.ncdc.noaa.gov:9090/thredds/nfdownload/iscpp-dx/2006/ISCCP.DX.0.GOE-10.2006.04.02.1800.CSU
Is it possible to open this file with IDV? None of the options seem to
work. It's a netCDF file; ncview's display of its 2D fields look
reasonable.
According to the global attributes it's formatted following "CF-1.0"
conventions. Here's an excerpt from the start of 'ncdump -c' output:
dimensions:
pixel = 94379 ;
GeoX = 500 ;
GeoY = 550 ;
variables:
int pixel(pixel) ;
pixel:long_name = "Pixel Number" ;
int lat(pixel) ;
lat:long_name = "Latitude" ;
lat:units = "degrees_north" ;
lat:scale_factor = 0.1f ;
lat:add_offset = -90.f ;
int lon(pixel) ;
lon:long_name = "Longitude" ;
lon:units = "degrees_east" ;
lon:scale_factor = 0.1f ;
int GeoX(pixel) ;
GeoX:long_name = "X Position" ;
GeoX:_CoordinateAxisType = "GeoX" ;
int GeoY(pixel) ;
GeoY:long_name = "Y Position" ;
GeoY:_CoordinateAxisType = "GeoY" ;
int gxpos(GeoX, GeoY) ;
gxpos:long_name = "X Position" ;
int gypos(GeoX, GeoY) ;
gypos:long_name = "Y Position" ;
int lat_g(GeoX, GeoY) ;
lat_g:long_name = "Latitude" ;
lat_g:units = "degrees_north" ;
lat_g:scale_factor = 0.1f ;
lat_g:add_offset = -90.f ;
int lon_g(GeoX, GeoY) ;
lon_g:long_name = "Longitude" ;
lon_g:units = "degrees_east" ;
lon_g:scale_factor = 0.1f ;
Second, browsing THREDDS catalogs is hampered by the number of parse
errors that are encountered, using both versions 2.3 and 2.5 of IDV. A
couple of examples:
Expanding xlink

Error parsing xml:

Error parsing xml: The declaration for the entity "HTML.Version"
must end with '>'.

end with '>'. line:31 column:3
Has anyone else seen this? Is it a problem with IDV or TDS? Apparently
the THREDDS catalog validator that used to be available has disappeared.
Thanks.
Tod
