Hi-
I was just trying to access the NOAA/ESRL/PSD Outgoing Longwave
Radiation (OLR) data using netCDF-Java 4.3 ToolsUI and noticed that the
times are wrong. If you open:
dods://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/thredds/dodsC/Datasets/uninterp_OLR/olr.day.mean.nc
in the ToolsUI grid viewer, the last time in the file is shown as
2012-12-04 00Z. However, the last time in the file is actually
2012-12-02 00Z. Here is the time variable in that file:
double time(time=3989);
:units = "hours since 1-1-1 00:00:0.0";
:long_name = "Time";
:actual_range = 1.7540448E7, 1.763616E7; // double
:delta_t = "0000-00-01 00:00:00";
:avg_period = "0000-00-01 00:00:00";
:standard_name = "time";
:axis = "T";
netCDF-Java 4.2 and ncdump -t -v time (C version) show the correct
date/times.
BTW, is there an easier way to see human readable dates through toolsUI
than loading it into the grid viewer (akin to ncdump -t)?
Thanks for your help.
Don
