Re: DODS/LAS
Charmaine,
You had a couple of questions that I'll rephrase and try to answer here:
1) How do I get the grid associated with a DODS file?
2) How can I use addXml.pl to add a DODS file?
1) The answer to 2) is one way of getting the answer to 1) but there is
another answer as well. We have created a number of xml files for DODS
data we're aware of. You can find a whole bunch of .xml, .jnl and .des
files in the following directories:
http://ferret.wrc.noaa.gov/LAS_xmlFiles/
http://ferret.wrc.noaa.gov/LAS_jnlFiles/
http://ferret.wrc.noaa.gov/LAS_desFiles/
2) If you have a recent version of addXml.pl (LAS v5.0 or higher) you
should be able to pass a DODS URL to it. If you are in the directory
lasxml/server/ you can type:
../xml/perl/addXml.pl --out_inc ../xml/perl/template.xml
http://ferret.wrc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/nph-nc/data/ocean_atlas_monthly.nc
This will create an "includable" xml file for you. For more information
on xml includes see:
http://ferret.wrc.noaa.gov/Ferret/LAS/FAQ/xml_includes.html
I hope that helps.
