[netcdf-java] problem with times in PSD dataset

Hi-

I was just trying to access the NOAA/ESRL/PSD Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) data using netCDF-Java 4.3 ToolsUI and noticed that the times are wrong. If you open:

dods://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/thredds/dodsC/Datasets/uninterp_OLR/olr.day.mean.nc

in the ToolsUI grid viewer, the last time in the file is shown as 2012-12-04 00Z. However, the last time in the file is actually 2012-12-02 00Z. Here is the time variable in that file:

   double time(time=3989);
     :units = "hours since 1-1-1 00:00:0.0";
     :long_name = "Time";
     :actual_range = 1.7540448E7, 1.763616E7; // double
     :delta_t = "0000-00-01 00:00:00";
     :avg_period = "0000-00-01 00:00:00";
     :standard_name = "time";
     :axis = "T";

netCDF-Java 4.2 and ncdump -t -v time (C version) show the correct date/times.

BTW, is there an easier way to see human readable dates through toolsUI than loading it into the grid viewer (akin to ncdump -t)?

Thanks for your help.

Don
