Re: [thredds] Switch to TDS 4.5 on thredds.ucar.edu on June 16

Hi,
we're using the GFS data from http://thredds.ucar.edu/thredds/catalog/grib/NCEP/GFS/Global_onedeg/catalog.html
We've been using it for several weeks now without problems, but the data from 20140624_00 got suddenly very strange, in particularly, the time-dimensions (time, time1, time2, time3) swapped, e.g. 

The time-dimension of u-component_of_wind_height_above_ground is
0624_06: time2
0624_00: time3
0624_00 - threddsbackup.ucar.edu: time
Since we are using some programs which are not aware of coordinate-systems and don't detect time-dimensions automatically (i.e. they are not netcdf-java based), these files are very difficult for us to use. Is this a temporary problem on thredds.ucar.edu due to the upgrade, or will the names of the time-dimension swap arbitrary in the future? 


Best regards,

Heiko Klein

As detailed in last weeks announcement, the TDS server at
http://thredds.ucar.edu/thredds/  will be switching to use version 4.5
on Monday, June 16.

To help in the transition:

1) The new "release candidate" server is currently running at
http://threddsRC.ucar.edu/thredds/ <http://threddsrc.ucar.edu/thredds/>.
Please take the time to test it and give us feedback sooner than later.

2) The 4.3 server will continue to be available at
http://threddsBackup.ucar.edu/thredds/
<http://threddsbackup.ucar.edu/thredds/> for at least a week after the
switch, in case there are any mission critical issues that arise.

3) IDV users can use a special plugin that will automatically remap
their bundles for testing purposes; there is also a plugin to remap to
the threddsBackup server if issues arise. Both plugins can be found in
the IDV plugin manager under the "Data Sources" category. For
information on how to use plugins in the IDV, please see
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/userguide/misc/Plugins.html

4) If you have IDV bundles (.xidv) that you would like us to add to the
IDV testing suite to help detect problems in the future, please submit
at http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/alias/TestMyBundle
