Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
Hi Kevin, Since versions of both VisAD and Java3D change between your two images, it would be useful to know what happens if you combine the VisAD from the first (good) image with the Java and Java3D from the second (bad) image. Is that bad (indicating a Java3D problem) or good (indicating a VisAD problem). If its a VisAD problem, then I'll probably need to run your application myself. Hopefully you can send it to me. It is worth saying that this is clearly an interference pattern between two non-aligned grids. Two (not the only) possible sources are: 1. Remap from one grid to another. 2. Two surfaces, one slightly behind the other, with Z-buffer errors making this pattern.
