The TDS catalog entries: https://gist.github.com/4164765
The NetCDF files are one satellite pass per file. The time dimension is
unlimited with a length of 1 in the individual files. The time units are
seconds since epoch (all even seconds).
The joinExisting Agg works as expected just like in 4.2. All of the services
(including WMS) work.
ok
The featureCollection FMRC doesn't work quite as well, but I do get a valid
dataset.
* There are rounding issues when converting the original files' "seconds since 1970-01-01
00:00:00" to the FMRC's "hours since 2012-03-11T08:00:00.000Z".

these seem to match the original files.
* The datasets has a "time_run" variable even though there are no "runs". I can't
remove the "time_run" variable from the resulting dataset using the protoDataset tag.
* The "coordinates" attribute of the "sst" variable gets set to "time_run time
lon lat". I don't want 'time_run' to be part of the coordinates. I can't change the attribute using
the protoDataset tag.
yes, its an artifact of using FMRC. Ideally its harmless. We will look
at the WMS problem.
* The "File_Access" link takes me to a directory listing that doesn't apply
the regex of the collection. It lists all of the files in the directory rather than just
the .nc4 files:
http://64.9.200.113:8080/thredds/catalog/LakeErieSST-FMRC/files/catalog.html.
we will fix this
* The WMS service does not work (it is a known issues with ncWMS and FMRC
datasets... it does not handle the run dimension correctly).
we are looking at the WMS problem
Is a possible solution to create another option in the fmrcConfig's datasetTypes attribute to remove all
concept of a "run" from the dataset? This will be useful for gridded files with no
overlapping time. <fmrcConfig datasetTypes="NoRunsPlzKThnx Files" />
Another solution could be to remove the concept of a "run" from a FMRC dataset
if the calculated time_offset variable is filled with all zeros.
Thoughts?
What we need is a featureCollection type=GRIB for your case. I will
think if we can add it quickly.
