Re: [las_users] LAS changes variable names/ dimensions on download

[Roland Schweitzer - NOAA Affiliate <roland.schweitzer@xxxxxxxx>]

The download process always saves a sub-set based on the state of the selection widgets. The request to Ferret is always in world coordinates, not index space. So it's likely that the sub-set selected to be saved was slightly smaller that the full dataset.  Since it's writing a subset it makes a new axis with a new name.

Hi All,

I observed a couple of strange things when I recently downloaded a gridded data from LAS and saved it as a NetCDF file.

1. The dimensions of the lon variable changed from 8640 to 8648

2. the lon variable itself was renamed to LON1_8648

Why is this happening? Is this some kind of a bug? 

LAS 7.3 (Ferret 6.82)

Thanks,

Ajay
