Jim,
I had a brief chat with Sean this morning about the issue you were
experiencing. It is likely
the grib files you were trying to aggregate have multiple time dimensions and
the ncml time aggregation is
not a good approach, in fact, the ncml time aggregation is going to be
deprecated in the future. The
better solution will be something like grid collection type, which can take
care multiple time dimensions
and other complicated structure when doing the aggregation. However, I don't
have the time line when
this feature will be available.
