>From: "Lauren" <address@hidden> >Organization: UCAR/Unidata >Keywords: 200502061839.j16Idiev004642 Hi Lauren- I can't tell much from what you have sent me. I loaded in the following dataset: http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov:9091/dods/NCEP_NARR-B_MONTHLY_3hr/200307/20030701/20030701 and selected the: * 3 hr fcst surface downward shortwave radiation flux [w/m^2] field and tried to display it as a contour plan view with no problem. For me to help you further, I need more information. Please let me know: 1) what you were trying to load. 2) was this through a bundle or from a user selection. If a bundle, could you please upload it the form at: http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/support/email_support.php and include as much information as possible. 3) The exact sequence of steps you used to create this error. >Institution: University of Texas at Austin >Package Version: 1.1 >Operating System: os.name:Windows XP; os.arch:x86; os.version:5.1; >Hardware Information: java.vendor:Sun Microsystems Inc.; java.version:1.4.2_01 > ; java.home:C:\\Program Files\\IDV_1.1\\jre; >Inquiry: An error has occurred: >getFlatField read got IOException >Connection cannot be read http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov:9091/dods/NCEP_NARR-B_MO > NTHLY_3hr/200307/20030701/20030701.dods?dswrfsfc3hr[1:1][0:239][0:585] > >****************** >Stack trace: >java.io.IOException: Connection cannot be read http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov:909 > 1/dods/NCEP_NARR-B_MONTHLY_3hr/200307/20030701/20030701.dods?dswrfsfc3hr[1:1] > [0:239][0:585] > at ucar.nc2.dataset.grid.GeoGrid.getDataSlice(GeoGrid.java:364) > at ucar.nc2.dataset.grid.GeoGrid.readVolumeData(GeoGrid.java:236) > at ucar.unidata.data.grid.GeoGridAdapter.getFlatField(GeoGridAdapter.ja > va:725) > at ucar.unidata.data.grid.GeoGridAdapter.makeSequence(GeoGridAdapter.ja > va:854) > at ucar.unidata.data.grid.GeoGridAdapter.getSequence(GeoGridAdapter.jav > a:680) > at ucar.unidata.data.grid.GeoGridDataSource.makeFieldImpl(GeoGridDataSo > urce.java:417) > at ucar.unidata.data.grid.GeoGridDataSource.getDataInner(GeoGridDataSou > rce.java:352) > at ucar.unidata.data.DataSourceImpl.getData(DataSourceImpl.java:1080) > at ucar.unidata.data.DirectDataChoice.getData(DirectDataChoice.java:279 > ) > at ucar.unidata.data.DataChoice.getData(DataChoice.java:480) > at ucar.unidata.data.DataInstance.getData(DataInstance.java:205) > at ucar.unidata.data.DataInstance.getData(DataInstance.java:170) > at ucar.unidata.data.grid.GridDataInstance.init(GridDataInstance.java:1 > 76) > at ucar.unidata.data.grid.GridDataInstance.<init>(GridDataInstance.java > :139) > at ucar.unidata.idv.control.GridDisplayControl.doMakeDataInstance(GridD > isplayControl.java:206) > at ucar.unidata.idv.control.DisplayControlImpl.setData(DisplayControlIm > pl.java:1890) > at ucar.unidata.idv.control.PlanViewControl.setData(PlanViewControl.jav > a:328) > at ucar.unidata.idv.control.PlanViewControl.init(PlanViewControl.java:2 > 90) > at ucar.unidata.idv.control.DisplayControlImpl.init(DisplayControlImpl. > java:805) > at ucar.unidata.idv.control.DisplayControlImpl.init(DisplayControlImpl. > java:731) > at ucar.unidata.idv.control.DisplayControlImpl.initAfterUnPersistence(D > isplayControlImpl.java:1490) > at ucar.unidata.idv.IdvPersistenceManager.instantiateFromBundle(IdvPers > istenceManager.java:1417) > at ucar.unidata.idv.IdvPersistenceManager.decodeXmlInner(IdvPersistence > Manager.java:1280) > at ucar.unidata.idv.IdvPersistenceManager.access$800(IdvPersistenceMana > ger.java:73) > at ucar.unidata.idv.IdvPersistenceManager$7.run(IdvPersistenceManager.j > ava:1242) > at ucar.unidata.util.Misc$1.run(Misc.java:1448) > > > Don Murray NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
