Hi Roland,
Looking again ...

I create an aggregation with these files and include the following

When I look at the HTML of the THREDDS catalog using TDS
(Implementation-Version: 3.16.32) I get this:
GeospatialCoverage:
* / Longitude: / 0.0 to 144.0 Resolution=2.5 degrees_east
* / Latitude: / -90.0 to -17.0 Resolution=2.5 degrees_north
Have I misinterpreted the documentation, is this a bug in TDS, or what?
... I think it is a misinterpretation of the documentation.
The range is defined using the start and size (extent) of the range, so
the range is [start, start+size]. The range is then output using the
start and end values of the range: [start, end]. So, a start of -90 and
size of 73 result in [-90, -17].
This one is pretty easy to get tripped up on as start/end seems more
natural, certainly for me anyway. Let me know if we could clarify our
documentation somewhere.
Hope this helps,
Ethan
