Issue in displaying correct variable and time values in Mesh and Crayfish #412

Closed saeri-ims closed 4 years ago

saeri-ims commented 4 years ago

Hello,

[Linux Ubuntu 18 OS, QGIS 3.4 LTR.]

I have been dealing with more and more .nc (and .grib) files and I started using MESH in QGIS for their import and visualisation. Additionally, i looked at the crayfish plugin to have the plot and the animation, however so far i have had two main problems. 1) I cannot display the correct values of the variables i have in the nc file (e.f. sea temperature) See image Screenshot from 2019-11-10 16-09-32

2) I cannot understand the meaning of datasets in selected groups: i move the slider to browse through time in the dataset but i cannot see the time properly (it is always 12:00:00). I guess i am browsing for sea temp at 10 metre depth at various time periods. But this is hard to tell from the settings. Screenshot from 2019-11-10 16-04-22

However, when i plot the data using crayfish i get a better idea, although the values on the x and y of the plot are again rather odd. I guess i should not consider the negative and the values > 24. But again, the value of Sea temp are difficult to understand.

So, how can i display the proper values for the climate variables? and how can I see the time correctly in the settings of the layer properties?

Thanks a lot.

PS note that i have also used the data here http://planet.qgis.org/planet/user/21/ but i get always the two problems.

Hi @saeri-ims, first of all, could you please try to load your dataset in QGIS 3.10. There have been a lot of changes in MDAL/QGIS in this area, so your bug is maybe already fixed.

I think this is a duplicate of https://github.com/lutraconsulting/MDAL/issues/107 that was fixed in QGIS 3.6.2

if the problem occurs even with QGIS 3.10, please reopen the issue

@PeterPetrik ok i will follow your advise and give it a go on QGIS 3.10 Thanks for pointing to the MDAL post too.
