OK, again trying desperately to understand your cryptic e-mails,
http://thredds1.pfeg.noaa.gov/thredds/dodsC/satellite/SW/chla/1day.das
has many of those attributes. You did, however, say
String Conventions "COARDS, CF-1.0, Unidata Dataset Discovery v1.0, CWHDF";
whereas the document suggested looking for
String Metadata_Conventions = "Unidata Dataset Discovery v1.0";
What you are doing, of course, makes sense. Did the original document
get corrected over time?
