Kurt,
The problem is that I never really had a chance to make an official
decoders release that explains your concerns. Everything you mention has
been done to make the data monotonically increasing in the netCDF file. To
make that happen, I had to enter the valtime_offsets into the cdl so
gribtonc would know where to enter the data in the file. For the eta
model, the
valtime_offset = 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 ;
In the old gribtonc/cdls the data was packed into the file as it appeared
on the datastream, many times the 24 hr data came in before the 12 hr data
so that's the order it was in the file. Now, the code looks for the
valtime_offset to figure out where to place the data. I'm attaching the
eta.cdl as an working example. Actually it's been used at Unidata for the
last couple of months. Also, you might note the inclusion of a new
variable called:
char forecasttime(record, time_len) ; // derived from valtime
forecasttime:long_name = "forecast date and time" ;
// units YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ssZ (ISO 8601)
I'm planning on making a decoders release with the new cdls to match the
new code very soon, hopefully this week.
