missing standard names in OceanNOMADS data #49

Open rsignell-usgs opened 10 years ago

rsignell-usgs commented 10 years ago

It looks like at least some of the OceanNOMADS model datasets do not have standard names.

For example: http://ecowatch.ncddc.noaa.gov/thredds/dodsC/hycom/hycom_reg1_agg/HYCOM_Region_1_Aggregation_best.ncd.html

does not have a standard_name attribute for variables water_u and water_v.

They should have standard_name attributes of eastward_sea_water_velocity and northward_sea_water_velocity, respectively

@scross015, is this an easy fix?

scross015 commented 10 years ago

I think it's an easy fix. Is it just the new Navy HYCOM dataset, or have you found issues in other datasets?

scross015 commented 10 years ago

I should amend that. The best fix would be for Navy to change the process that creates the netcdf's. Failing that, we can use nco on our end, which would be fairly easy.

rsignell-usgs commented 10 years ago

You guys should also be able to just modify the ncml in the catalog that aggregates that data.

scross015 commented 10 years ago

Right, even better, We can go ahead and do that. I will also pursue w/ Navy to get the workflow altered to include these attributes, but in the meantime can 'virtualize' via ncml.
