Hi John, Just to return to this problem with some more info. The following program: public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { NetcdfDataset nc = NetcdfDataset.openDataset("http://topaz.nersc.no/thredds/dodsC/topaz/mersea-ipv2/arctic/tmipv2a-class1-b-be"); GridDataset gd = (GridDataset)TypedDatasetFactory.open(FeatureType.GRID, nc, null, null); GridDatatype tmp = gd.findGridDatatype("temperature"); GridCoordSystem coordSys = tmp.getCoordinateSystem(); System.out.println("X axis type: " + coordSys.getXHorizAxis().getAxisType()); System.out.println("Y axis type: " + coordSys.getYHorizAxis().getAxisType()); System.out.println("Z axis type: " + coordSys.getVerticalAxis().getAxisType()); System.out.println("T axis type: " + coordSys.getTimeAxis().getAxisType()); nc.close(); } prints out: X axis type: null Y axis type: GeoY Z axis type: Height T axis type: Time The variable in question is on a polar stereographic grid. The types of the Y, Z and T axes are correctly recognized as the above output shows. I can't figure out why the X axis is not. This problem has only recently appeared, and it might have occurred due to a change in the version of nj4 that we use (or the OPeNDAP provider might have changed something). Can you shed any light on this?
