Another attempt... [Fwd: XYT and XYZT grid with only 1 X and 1 Y point in axis]

Hi Folks,<br>
<br>
I wondering if this is a bug or a feature.&nbsp; getGrids recognizes grids
with only 1 X and 1 Y in the case below where there is no vertical
axis, but reports no grids when there is a vertical axis.&nbsp; Can somebody
explain why?<br>
<br>
To be sure, I ran the attached code using the 2.2.09 release.<br>

<pre>Hi,

I am using the Java netCDF library (version 2.2.something -- how to I 
tell which from the jar?) to extract the GeoGrids from the netCDF 
dataset from these two URLs.

Both are degenerate in the sense that there is only one X and one Y in 
the "grid", but none the less in the case of the XYT file the GeoGrids 
are returned successfully.

However in the second case where a similar XY grid is defined, but 
includes a Z axis getGrids() returns an empty list.  I think it should 
be able to return grids (albeit degenerate) just the same as the XYT case.

XYT Grid:

XYZT Grid:

Thanks,
