Hi Fabien:

Try looking at the datasets in a browser, or ToolsUI

 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf-java/v2.2/webstart/index.html

If they look ok, then ask the Ferret group to help.

Im not sure what "http://opendap-dev:8880/thredds/dodsC/psy3v1_med_agg"; is.

Hi,
I have problems with NcML aggregation in my TDS catalog.

I don't know how extracting date coordinates from a filename for a joinNew type.

Here is my catalog.xml :

I have 6 test files in the directory : from test_20070101.nc to test_20070105.nc

And I get an error from Ferret :

yes? use "http://opendap-dev:8880/thredds/dodsC/psy3v1_med_agg";

Here is the "GetASCII" response (in OpenDAP) with the time checking :

Dataset {
    String time[time = 6];
} psy3v1_med_agg;
---------------------------------------------
time[6]

"2007-01-01T00:00:00Z", "2007-01-02T00:00:00Z", "2007-01-03T00:00:00Z", "2007-01-04T00:00:00Z", "2007-01-05T00:00:00Z", "2007-01-06T00:00:00Z"

I don't know why I got the Time like an invalid coordinate axis in Ferret.
However I don't know if the problem came from TDS or Ferret.
I will be glad if you can tell me how I can do this aggregation.

Thanks,
Fabien.
