Hi Kevin, > Hmmm. The error I am getting does not appear to be related to a zero > radius. Here is the output of the consistency check: > > Samples[0][1] = 564688.6 Samples[0][0] = 565236.0 Samples[1][LengthX+1] > = 314.9523 Samples[1][1] = 315.0188 > Samples[1][1] = 315.0188 Samples[1][0] = 314.96332 Samples[0][LengthX+1] > = 564034.06 Samples[0][1] = 564688.6 > v00[]=Samples[][516] v10[]=Samples[][517] v01[]=Samples[][1549] > v11[]=Samples[][1550] > Pos = true > 1st = -333234.62 2nd = -333234.38 3rd = -333223.12 4th = -333223.38 > Exception in thread "main" visad.SetException: Gridded2DSet: samples do > not form a valid grid (516,0) > . . . > LengthX: 1033, LengthY: 863 I see you uncommented the print statements that are already in the consistency test of the Gridded2DSet constructor, and unfortunately most of that information is not useful (don't recall if I or someone else wrote these print statements, but note that values of the Samples array are printed for indices other than those used to compute v00, v01, v10 and v11). But one useful piece of information is "(516,0)". Note that 516 is about half of LengthX = 1033, so the offending grid box is at the haflway point along X. In fact, the offending grid box from X=516 to X=517 exactly straddles 1033/2. If X is your azimuth coordinate, is there an error in computing angles halfway around the circle? One possibility is that angles increase from X=0 to X=516, then there is a decrease from X=516 to X=517, then they increase again. Something like that. Or if X is your radius coordinate, is there a similar error in computing radius halfway out, at X=516? > >Actually, you may want to define the grid for each radar > >on a different RealTuple (range_i, azimuth_i), each with > >a different Radar2DCoordinateSystem to the > >(Latitude, Longitude) reference RealTuple.

If you are just looking at one radar at a time, then you can either do your original suggestion, with ScalarMaps of Radius to Radius and Azimuth to Longitude. Or you can use just one Radar2DCoordinateSystem to the (Latitude, Longitude) reference RealTuple, with ScalarMaps of Latitude and Longitude to YAxis and XAxis. Good luck, Bill
