Re: [las_users] automatic scaling of netCDF data - NOT

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

Peter,

The NetCDF scale_factor and add_offset attributes are used when Ferret generates the image for LAS.  So your upgrade to a newer version of the LAS code should have nothing to do with the problem.  Did you recently upgrade to a newer version of Ferret?

Also make sure that you clean out the LAS cache directory when debugging this to make sure you're not looking at previously generated plots:

cd ~las/server; rm -f output/*

Hi,

 

     I have been running a LAS server for sometime and recently upgraded to a newer version.

(6.3? to 6.4.2)  (www.marine.csiro.au/las/servlets/dataset) .   I though when we set this up everything was looking OK, however, I have recently noticed the SST data served is nolonger scaled to SST.  The netCDF data set has a scale_factor (0.16) and an add_offset (15) but this scaling is not being applied to the data. Is there a known problem with this version of LAS, or is it something stupid I have messed up?
