HI All:
We are having again having a problem that arose a couple of months ago with aggregating our
grub files using <featureCollection type="GRIB">. The problem arises because
we get the following error when trying to access the aggregation:
Error {
code = 500;
message = "Variable name (pres_msl) must be unique within Group ";
};
and this problem is caused by the following (thanks Ethan et al. for figuring
this out):
it looks like the files are using two different versions of the same grib
table. In the wgrib output for some files says:
...
center 58 subcenter 0 process 58 Table 2 scan: WE:SN winds(N/S)
...
but for some others:
...
center 58 subcenter 0 process 58 Table 3 scan: WE:SN winds(N/S)
Now my question has to do with how your grib reader works, how that interacts with
featureCollection, and how ncml files are viewed. What if for each file I created an ncml file that
created a new variable that is basically the same one in the grib file, but because it is
"new" it wouldn't be seen as different . Now my question is how would the resulting
virtual file be viewed by TDS. Would it still be seen as a "grib" file and therefore
aggregated using featureCollection, or is it now viewed as a netcdf file and aggregated using a
aggregation scan, or will this not work at all?
We are supplied the files, and unfortunately don't have a good capability to
rewrite the grib files, so are looking for a workaround.
Thanks,
-Roy
