Re: [thredds] using POLAR STEREOGRAPHIC netcdf files with THREDDS WMS

Hi Stephane,

th polar_stereographic variable should have an attribute:

  polar_stereographic:grid_mapping_name = polar_stereographic

the projected data variables (alsi?) should have the attributes linking to above variable:

  alsi:grid_mapping = polar_stereographic

and to the actual coordinates lat and lon.

  alsi:coordinates = "lat lon"

alsi should not have the grid_mapping_name attribute.



I hope this is all. I don't understand the hemisphere_of_standard_parallel and resolution_at_standard_parallel parameters.

Best regards,

Heiko



PS: I don't see any UTM in the lat-lon example???

Hi All,
I have netcdf files that are not seen as grided by either netcdf tools
ui 4.2 or my thredds 4.2 server
(http://odin.meteo.mcgill.ca:8080/thredds/catalog/testAll/catalog.html).
The data file
http://odin.meteo.mcgill.ca:8080/thredds/catalog/testAll/catalog.html?dataset=testDatasetScan/MRCC.4.2.0_amno_adj_alsi_ps_196012_r%28cf-1-4%29.nc
is representative of many terabytes of netcdf files that we are to make
available to public BUT do not fully comply to geogrid specifications
CF-1.0/COARDS (I think our files are close to be complying but something
is missing in our polar stereographic netcdf headers).
For modifying netcdf variables, I am planning on using NcML (as shown
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/tech/tds4.2/tutorial/NcML.htm)
BUT I don't exactly know what parameters are missing in order to connect
the polar_stereographic netcdf header information to our x and y axis.
Here attached, I have included the 2 differents types of netcdf header
we use, a netcdf dump of lat lon UTM data (which works fine with all
enabled thredds services) and a netcdf dump for polar stereographic data
(which is not perceived as gridded data just yet, see file
2010aug16_polar-stereo-netcdf_ccrm-sample.txt).
Must grid_mapping_name = polar_stereographic be specified somewhere
within our header? Do we properly link the polar_stereographic structure
to the x and y axis (xc,yc structures)?
Regards,
Stephane
