Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

Re: [netcdf-java] problem getting axistype

the coordinate systems look ok to me. the lat and lon axis types dont get recognized because they use degrees as units instead of degrees_north and degrees_east, respectively, as CF requires. thats why you will get a null in your code.
the grid display looks wrong, however, probably because X has "100 km" units, and y has nothing, so km is assumed.
using the CoordSys tab of ToolsUI is one way to look for these kinds of issues.

Hi John,

The dataset is available here:

Cheers,

Hi John,

The underlying question is, why doesn't java-netcdf recognize the axis
type?  Previously (with the same dataset) the axis was recognized as
GeoX/GeoY, but now something has changed and it isn't.  I think
something has changed with the remote dataset but I can't see from the
metadata (Adit provided an ncdump) what is wrong.  The dataset is in
polar stereographic projection - is the metadata set up incorrectly or
is there a bug in java-netcdf?

Cheers, Jon

Hi Adit:

The AxisType is optional, so you need to check for null.

ok, thats a clearer question. Adit, can you send me the actual file?
