Re: Problem with time specification

[Jonathan Callahan <Jonathan.S.Callahan@xxxxxxxx>]

Matt,

How useful to have your data available via DODS!

I was able to create an xml file from your DODS dataset and then run 
addXml.pl on it and set it up in LAS.   But I did run into problems when 
data was requested as your longitude axes are not recognized as being 
"subspan modulo".  For more on how to use "subspan modulo" in Ferret, 
see the Ferret v5.5.0 release notes:

http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/Documentation/Release_Notes/v550.html#subspan%20modulo

If you are using LAS 6.2.1 and still getting the errors you mention it's 
quite possible that we've checked in a fix that handles your particular 
issue since the v6.2.1 release.  If you have an older release, you 
should consider upgrading.

Let me know how you progress,


-- Jon
