Hello,
I am testing some aggregations of real-time in situ oceanographic mooring
data served by the THREDDS Data Server.
Generally, the TDS has been working pretty well. I do, however, see some
inconsistent behavior that bay be the result of how I¹ve built the catalog
or may be issues with the THREDDS Data Server. I¹d appreciate any
information that will help with these two issues:
1. The .html form does not properly show the indices of the variable¹s
coordinate axes. For instance, for the data set
<http://elvis.shore.mbari.org/thredds/dodsC/moorings/OS_MBARI-M1_TS.html>
clicking on the TEMP variable shows ³0:1:0² for each of the time, depth,
latitude, and longitude coordinates. The form seems to know how many points
are in the coordinates as when you select them on the form they are properly
shown. Shouldn¹t the variable¹s coordinates show the same index limits that
are shown for the coordinate variables?
2. I was getting errors for an unconstrained requests of TEMP the M0 & M1
moorings, but not for the M2 mooring, e.g.:
> Mooring M1:
> http://elvis.shore.mbari.org/thredds/dodsC/moorings/OS_MBARI-M1_TS.ascii?TEMP

Thanks in advance,
