Hi Roy:
We have to muck at a low level (below the GRIB IOSP) to workaround the
version difference. NcML will be used to pass the information down, but
it works on the NetcdfFile only after the IOSP is done. So it cant
really help in this instance. Stay tuned.

Thanks for any help, though technically what you are doing is correct. If the
tables are different the whole shebang might be different (why I love external
tables, I know you share the joy), but in our case it is not. This is more
carelessness from our data provider, because there is no reason for the table
to be different (supposedly it is the same code generating the file as part of
a routine process - go figure that one). If we can do a workaround in ncml we
will. We just figured out how to do the VIIRS hdf4 files in a workable manner,
that aggregate and update, so we have gotten pretty good with ncml.
Thanks again for any help you can provide or any suggestions as to what we can
do.

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
