[las_users] Lat/Lon problems

[Anton Yoel Buenavista <tmsbayd@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

I have just recently installed LAS v7.0.3. Everything works perfectly and the sample COADS NetCDF files provided displays perfectly as well. The NetCDF files provided by my colleagues seem to follow a convention of their own, yet the files display perfectly in Ferret. Thus, when I tried to use the addXML.sh tool, the following error was returned: "File parsed.  No Lat/Lon grids found."

Can someone guide me as to how I can go about this? (i.e. modify parts of the NetCDF file, use another scripting tool, etc.)

Below is the dump of one of the files:

    two = 2 ;
