Antonio, While the "along_track" is the UNLIMITED dimension in all of these swath files. Our attempts to just use this as the dimension for the joinExisting aggregation does not throw any issues wrt THREDDS at catalog init time, but when you actually try to load/use this dataset it does not work and fails with the message in Panoply, "There was an error preparing the data: Failed creating the data handler: Could not read lon axis array." e.g., joinExisting aggregation on along_track (fails with: Could not read lon axis array.) http://tds.coaps.fsu.edu/thredds/dodsC/coaps/qscat/nc_L2B_v4p0_12/nc_L2B_12_daily_TESTjoinExisting-along_track.html <netcdf xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2"> <aggregation type="joinExisting" dimName="along_track"> <scan location="/Net/data/qscat/data/nc_L2B_v4p0_12/nc_L2B_12_daily/2009" suffix=".nc" subdirs="false" /> </aggregation> </netcdf> This *simplified* product is a collection of multiple quikscat swath passes in a 24 hour period to assemble a full coverage of the globe. orbit_file_source: https://podaac-opendap.jpl.nasa.gov/opendap/allData/quikscat/L2B12/v4.0/ Which looks like this for a single day. http://tds.coaps.fsu.edu/thredds/wms/coaps/qscat/nc_L2B_v4p0_12/nc_L2B_12_daily/2009/QSCAT_12_2009325.nc?STYLES=&SERVICE=WMS&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&REQUEST=GetMap&HEIGHT=512&WIDTH=1024&VERSION=1.1.1&BBOX=-180.0%2C-80.0%2C180.0%2C90.0&LAYERS=wind&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&TRANSPARENT=TRUE Our *end goal* is to have a virtually aggregated collection of all this simplified daily swath data from 1999 to 2009 for ingestion as an OPeNDAP/WMS dataset into a web-based data visualizer like OWGIS (https://owgis.org/), so that users can pick the date(s) they want, and view this in a web GUI. We tried to use joinNew to aggregate all these like files on a new dimension "T" and populate the time info using the filename (dateFormatMark="QSCAT_#HH_yyyyDDD") and get the same error (fails with: Could not read lon axis array.) e.g., joinNew aggregation on new dimension T http://tds.coaps.fsu.edu/thredds/dodsC/coaps/qscat/nc_L2B_v4p0_12/nc_L2B_12_daily_TESTjoinNew-time-lon-lat.html <netcdf xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2"> <aggregation dimName="T" type="joinNew"> <variableAgg name="time"/> <variableAgg name="lon"/> <variableAgg name="lat"/> <variableAgg name="eastward_wind"/> <variableAgg name="northward_wind"/> <variableAgg name="wind_speed"/> <variableAgg name="wind_to_direction"/> <variableAgg name="simplified_wvc_quality_flag"/> <variableAgg name="rain_impact"/> <variableAgg name="distance_from_coast"/> <scan dateFormatMark="QSCAT_#HH_yyyyDDD" location="/Net/data/qscat/data/nc_L2B_v4p0_12/nc_L2B_12_daily/2009" suffix=".nc" subdirs="false" /> </aggregation> </netcdf> Any ideas what we are doing wrong in THREDDS, or is the issue in the data files we simplified? > > Ian,, > > What aggregation are you expecting? just on the 'along_track' dimension? > > Antonio > On 5/5/20 19:46, Ian Dimitri wrote: > > Hello All, > > Adding onto Michael's existing thread, I am working closely with him > attempting to figure out the issue we are having with the aggregation of > swath data that has a two-dimensional grid with track and cross-track > coordinates.
