composite & derived variables
Greetings,
I'm using LAS4.0. It is working as expected for most of what I'm doing,
but I'm encountering some unexpected behavior w/r/t composite variables
and derived variables defined by a ferret script.
First, w/r/t composite variables, i.e.
<u units="cm/s" name="Zonal velocity">
<link match="/lasdata/grids/file_x_y_z_Time_grid"/>
</u>
<v units="cm/s" name="Meridional velocity">
<link match="/lasdata/grids/file_x_y_z_Time_grid"/>
</v>
<composite>
<current_vectors name="uv_current vectors" js="VecVariable">
<link match="/file/variables/u"/>
<link match="/file/variables/v"/>
</current_vectors>
</composite>
After making the HTML and Java files, the LAS server does not bring up
the correct z axis menubuttons. In this case, u and v each have 40
vertical levels show up on the menubuttons, but the composite variable
only brings up 1 level. It seems that the link elements from the
primary variables u and v are not being delivered to the composite
element current_vectors. Is this a problem with the LAS software or did
I do something wrong?
************************
Now, w/r/t derived variables defined by a ferret script using the
init_script feature, I'm having a problem of a more serious nature. I
can define a derived variable easily enough, but when I attempt to do a
difference involving defined variables, I run into trouble. It appears
from looking at the error logs that the init script is not executed
prior to running the differencing script. Is it possible to check if a
difference variable has a ferret properties tag and call it before the
difference script is executed?
I'll stop here. Thanks.
Matt
