Re: Possible grib-8.0.jar bug

Hi Bill:

We are looking at a solution for this. Do you happen to know where meteofrance_1.tab and meteofrance_2.tab files came from? (Robb is on vacation for two weeks.)
The quick fix is to remove these, but we are also looking at a fix in opendap, since this problem shows up elsewhere.

Hi John

Regarding a possible issue with the new meteofrance_1.tab and meteofrance_2.tab 
grib tab resource files within the
grib-8.0.jar.

Line item 65, i.e.

65:WEASD:Accum. snow [kg/m^2]

I believe that the period after Accum is causing problems with OPeNDAP and 
NetcdfSubset access methods.

While reading a grib type MFA SURFA dataset with OPeNDAP the Accum._Snow 
variable attributes were showing up within
global attributes.

In NetcdfSubset the Accum._Snow variable won't render without an 403 error 
stating that Accum._Snow isn't a netcdf
variable or sometimes with just a content encoding error.

e.g.

http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/thredds/catalog/surfa/mfa/y2008/m01/catalog.html?dataset=surfa/mfa/y2008/m01/MFA_2008011412_18.gz

Here's the wgrib dump of what should be the Accum_snow variable within the MFA 
SURFA dataset.

12:34290960:d=08010112:WEASD:kpds5=65:kpds6=1:kpds7=0:TR=0:P1=12:P2=0:TimeU=1:sfc:12hr
 fcst:NAve=0

After removing the period from the meteofrance grib tab tables both errors were 
resolved while testing on our
development server.

Please advise.
