Dear Caron,

I'm using NetCDF subset services for HYCOM data. http://ncss.hycom.org/thredds/ncss/grid/GLBa0.08/expt_90.9/2011/dataset.html I just wonder if this subsetting process can be made automatic using a script or the like. Also, the NetCDF I get can not be opened by GrADS, though it can be opened by IDV.

The error msg says
"gadsf: SDF file has no discernable X coordinate."
Thanks!
