Dear Christian,
> 1. You need to specify conventions for your NetCDF files (see
> https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/BestPractices.html#Conventions).
> We recommend "CF-1.6".
Thank you so much for pointing this out - I completely overlooked
that. Example H.1 doesn't have the conventions attribute, so I
forgot about it. Adding the right conventions (CF-1.6, not
just 1.6) and removing the valid-range attributes made the file work!
This is a big step forward for us, it enables a data reduction from 22
mb to 1 mb (compressed netcdf-4), which should ease the load on the
thredds server and on IDV a lot. The packed data with valid-range
issue will affect all our files that are packed with ncpdq, so that's
a really good thing to be aware of.
I'll be checking our other data files for similar issues, thanks again
for your help in pointing them out.
Kind regards,
Hein
