Hi Bill:We are looking at a solution for this. Do you happen to know where meteofrance_1.tab and meteofrance_2.tab files came from? (Robb is on vacation for two weeks.) The quick fix is to remove these, but we are also looking at a fix in opendap, since this problem shows up elsewhere.

Hi John Regarding a possible issue with the new meteofrance_1.tab and meteofrance_2.tab grib tab resource files within the grib-8.0.jar. Line item 65, i.e. 65:WEASD:Accum. snow [kg/m^2] I believe that the period after Accum is causing problems with OPeNDAP and NetcdfSubset access methods. While reading a grib type MFA SURFA dataset with OPeNDAP the Accum._Snow variable attributes were showing up within global attributes. In NetcdfSubset the Accum._Snow variable won't render without an 403 error stating that Accum._Snow isn't a netcdf variable or sometimes with just a content encoding error. e.g. http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/thredds/catalog/surfa/mfa/y2008/m01/catalog.html?dataset=surfa/mfa/y2008/m01/MFA_2008011412_18.gz Here's the wgrib dump of what should be the Accum_snow variable within the MFA SURFA dataset. 12:34290960:d=08010112:WEASD:kpds5=65:kpds6=1:kpds7=0:TR=0:P1=12:P2=0:TimeU=1:sfc:12hr fcst:NAve=0 After removing the period from the meteofrance grib tab tables both errors were resolved while testing on our development server. Please advise. -Bill
