[thredds] datasetFmrc question

[John Caron]

Hi Michael:

Im unclear whether the documentation at

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/ncml/v2.2/FmrcAggregation.html

(in particular section 5) and the example catalog link at

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/ncml/v2.2/mlodeExample.txt

were wrong, insufficient, or you didnt see them?


I do realize that our documentation is pretty spotty, so any specific issues that you are stumbling on is very helpful to us.

We can make the motherlode catalogs available, in any case, as examples.
