Re: [netcdf-java] GRIB file in VerticalPerspectiveView projection has NaN Bounding Box

Thanks Don, that's very helpful. I guess as a workaround I could just
set the bbox to [-180,-90,180,90] for a VerticalPerspectiveView?  It's
only a hint to a Web Map Service, so it won't affect any calculations.

Cheers, Jon
