Hi Nihat,

Ah, sorry for misunderstanding. The answer lies in the Javadoc for 
GridDataType.readDataSlice():

@param x_index  if < 0, get all of x dim; if valid index, fix slice to that 
value.

So you're getting values for all x, not just the x associated with the 
longitude-of-interest. You can see this in the Array object that the method 
returns: it is size 126 instead of 1.

So yes, that can be a bit of a gotcha. You definely need to assert that both 
indices are >=0.

Cheers,
Christian
