Hi Michael,The difference in this case is that in 4.2 you are using an option available in the interface that allows to request the whole horizontal grid and ignores the bounding box in the request. If you check the "bounding box" radio button, then the service will try to subset to the specified bounding box. 4.3 works slightly different and does not have that option available on the interface but if you want to request the whole horizontal grid you just don't pass the parameters that specify the bounding box in the request so with a simple request like this:
<http://localhost:8080/thredds/ncss/grid/curvilinear/archv.2011_003_00_2d.nc?horizStride=1&time_start=2011-01-03T00%3A00%3A00Z&time_end=2011-01-03T00%3A00%3A00Z&timeStride=1&accept=netcdf&var=ssh>http://ncss1.hycom.org/thredds/ncss/grid/GLBa0.08/expt_90.9?time_start=2011-01-03T00%3A00%3A00Z&time_end=2013-05-12T00%3A00%3A00Z&var=sshit should return the whole grid and the dataset is only subsetted by vars and time. Actually, you only need to specify the parameter var in 4.3.
Here is the summary of how NCSS params work in 4.3: https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/tech/interfaceSpec/NetcdfSubsetService_4_3.html#CommonAlso, be aware that global datasets and requests crossing the longitude seam are not well supported by NCSS and when you try a request that crosses the seam you'll only get the data on one side of the seam. Besides, the longitude axis in your dataset is denormalized and its values range from 74.1199 to 1019.1199 so when NCSS tries to guess what are the min and max longitude it normalizes the values and gets 74.1199 and 299.1199. Then, it computes the indices in the data arrays for the bounding box with that longitude range and this is why you don't get all the data in your 4.3 request.

Using the latest TDS v4.3.16, our NetcdfSubset service is not selecting the entire Global domain (lat/lon subset, bounding box). The 'east' bounding box is getting a different value from our NetCDF files compared with the previous TDS v4.2.10 NCSS. See figure attachments. How it used to look: "TDSv4.2.10 ncss form.png" "TDSv4.2.10 full domain.png" How it looks with the latest: "TDSv4.3.16 ncss form.png" "TDSv4.3.16 partial domain.png" I don't want to have to re-write all of our existing NetCDF files. We might be able to get away with correcting the catalog so that it uses the proper lat/lon domain. -- Michael McDonald Assistant in Research / Systems Administrator Center for Ocean Atmospheric Prediction Studies The Florida State University http://coaps.fsu.edu _______________________________________________ thredds mailing list thredds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For list information or to unsubscribe, visit: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/
