Re: DODS access to GDS GRIB files

[Matt Howard <mkhoward@xxxxxxxx>]

Thank you Jennifer.

Yes indead. Pointing to the entire data set

"http://nomad1.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/eta/archive/eta20040209/eta1hr_00z";

instead of just the single parameter (vgrd10m) 

http://nomad1.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/eta/archive/eta20040209/eta1hr_00z?vgrd10m

proved to be the fix.  Then I can use ferret to specify the parameter
and regional subset. The return is surprisingly fast too.

Next I need to figure out how to get just the selected parameteres
and regional subset conveyed to LAS.  My goal is to never pull down
more data than I need.  Let me struggle with it a while.

Thanks again everyone for their help.
