Re: error in accessing an OpenDAP aggregation server

[Joe McLean <joe.mclean@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul,

The aggregation server at http://opendap.aviso.oceanobs.com/dodsC is out 
of date. Please see the message at 
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/getfile?file=/content/support/help/MailArchives/dods-tech/msg02100.html
Ferret v5.7 was built with post-september,2003 DODS-NetCDF client 
libraries.  I imagine your dncdump was built with pre-september,2004 
libraries.  The up-to-date version of the aggregation server you are 
trying to access is at 
http://opendap.aviso.oceanobs.com/thredds/dodsC/en/h/msla_oer_en_err.
