Nihal, Note the problem is a path element (NCEP_GFS) is duplicated. It should be http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/dods/NCEP_GFS/201207/20120703.thredds not http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/dods/NCEP_GFS/NCEP_GFS/201207/20120703.thredds The server is misconfigured. Please contact the administrators at nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov about this issue.
