Re: [netcdf-java] Upgrading from NetCDF 4.6.15 to 5.5.3 (GRIB2 Table changes)

Hi Danielle:

If things are correct, names shouldnt change when standard name tables are
updated. But, its been an ongoing problem, so you are definitely not alone.
Grib-1 is more or less a lost cause, but one should be able to use Grib-2
correctly.
There are many knobs and levers to adjust/override tables, but ill let the
Unidata support group point you to the right docs.
If you have a specific file or dataset you are using, i can look at it and
give feedback if you want.

John
