Dear John Caron,We can certainly fix that. However, there are almost 30 years of daily files. Thus, it will take some time.
We have not had complaints about this before.How can we be sure that this minor error is causing Ken Richmond to be unable to read the netcdf files?
These files are also available at http://ghrsst.jpl.nasa.gov/ There :Conventions = "CF-1.0" ; Is this OK? Maybe Ken Richmond can try to read those files. Dick John Caron said the following on 2/9/2009 12:39 PM:
