Hi Ivan,

Glad it's working for you!  It might be better to use the standard_name 
attribute for the variable, and pick from the list of CF standard names 
(http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-standard-names/):

For example:

<variable name="U10" standard_name="eastward_wind"/>

(In order to look for vector components, THREDDS looks first at the 
standard_name, then the long_name then the name.)

HTH,
Jon

Hi there,

i answered my question.. i needed to use NetCDF tag in the catalog..  
now i can see the auto vector layer.. which is great.

-i


<datasetScan ID="output" name="zzzz" path="yyyy" location="xxxx" 
harvest="true">
<metadata inherited="true">
<serviceName>all</serviceName>
<dataType>Grid</dataType>
</metadata>
<filter>
<include wildcard="*.nc" />
</filter>
<netcdf xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2"; >
<variable name="eastward_wind" orgName="U10"/>
<variable name="northward_wind" orgName="V10" />
</netcdf>
<addLatest />
<addDatasetSize />
</datasetScan>
