Hello Heiko,
I was experiencing the same issue and after some discussion with John Caron
I switched my catalog to use a scan aggregation:
<netcdf xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2";>
<aggregation dimName="TIME" type="joinExisting" recheckEvery="2 hour" >
<scan location="<dir>" suffix="_R_TS.nc" subdirs="false" />
</aggregation>
</netcdf>
I needed to create a <dir> with symbolic links to all the files being
aggregated. The last file in the aggregation is recreated every two hours
and so far this technique has been working fine.
Hope this helps,
Mike
