Hi Dan:
Can you try changing the coordinate axis type to double and see what happens:
<variable name="time" type="double" >
<attribute name="_CoordinateAxisType" value="Time" />
<attribute name="units" value="hours since 1970-01-01 00:00:00" />
</variable>
thanks

John,I'm not sure if the problem is in the TDS but thought you'd like to know. All the clients I've tried seem to indicate that the float32 values are of less precision than the originating XML indicates but I'm still double-checking our code. I'm attaching the catalog.xml for this particular dataset to this message in case you'd like to see that. The problem is potentially that the TDS is not maintaining the precision of 'Join-new' coordinate values.------------------------------------------------------------------------ Begin forwarded message:*From: * Daniel Holloway <d.holloway@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:d.holloway@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>>*Date: * July 14, 2006 11:13:02 AM EDT*To: * Steve Hankin <Steven.C.Hankin@xxxxxxxx <mailto:Steven.C.Hankin@xxxxxxxx>> *Cc: * Ansley Manke <Ansley.B.Manke@xxxxxxxx <mailto:Ansley.B.Manke@xxxxxxxx>>, Jing Y Li <Jing.Y.Li@xxxxxxxx <mailto:Jing.Y.Li@xxxxxxxx>>*Subject: * *Re: Pathfinder AVHRR aggregation -- monotonic time axis* On Jul 13, 2006, at 7:11 PM, Steve Hankin wrote:Hi Dan,It turns out that the time axis has a repeated value in it Look at the coordinates with the OPeNDAP HTML (browser) interface I get4760:1:4770 Dataset { Float32 time[time = 11]; } Pathfinder/NorthwestAtlantic/nwAtlantic1KmRaw.nc; --------------------------------------------- time[11] 173694.38, 173696.11, 173705.8, *173707.5, 173707.5*, 173718.22, 173719.92, 173729.62, 173731.33, 173742.05, 173743.75Is this a valid repeating of time points that we should learn to deal with in our software?

The problem is either in the server truncating these values or on the client side.

It resolves the problem using strides in an array subset operation, and it now allows me to add attributes. I've added several to 'lat', 'lon', and 'time', if these attributes are incorrect or you'd like something different please let me know.Also, please let me know if there are any remaining problems with the 'time' dimension. I fixed a problem with it that showed up as a non-monotonic axis dimension but there could be other problems remaining.Thanks, Danp.s. I only have the Northwest Atlantic aggregations configured, I can work on the Northwest/east Pacific aggregations as well.Jing Yang Li wrote:Dan Holloway wrote:Hi Jonathan, Jing,I recently installed an updated version of the TDS, that was supposed to resolve the stride bug unfortunately it's failing at the moment. This is just a heads up that the aggregation server at URI might return errors or be unavailable over the next few days as we work thru these problems. We have to get the stride problem fixed, as well as the update that will allow me to add COARDS-like attributes to the variables in the aggregation. I will send another message once the server has been fixed and is available for you to work with. I mentioned in a previous message that I believe I resolved the non-monotonic axis issue.Thanks, Dan Jonathan Callahan wrote:Dan,It turns out there are more problems with the time axis in the AVHRR aggregation. The time axis you are generating is not monotonic -- there are several places where it jumps around.I've attached an image that plots a portion of the time aixs. The bottom axis is the time index.REASON time axis prlblemFerret, along with most other packages, needs a monotonic time axis.I can identify specific indexes or times where the jumps are occurring if that would be helpful but there may be issues with repeat values, etc. Let me know what information I can provide to help you figure out this problem.-- JonHi Dan,I tried your new data. Yes, the monotonic problem for time axis was gone. The time axis also passed our Java code without throwing out exceptions,although there is still a warning like:*** NOTE: Coordinates out of order or missing on axis time at subscript 4766.Thanks.
