should be an id on the dataset in the catalog. but it has to be in the actual catalog, not a referenced (nested) one. eg thredds:http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/catalog/fmrc/NCEP/NDFD/CONUS_5km/files/catalog.xml#fmrc/NCEP/NDFD/CONUS_5km/files/NDFD_CONUS_5km_20070227_1800.grib2 Jon Blower wrote:
Hi John, Yes, I'd spotted that, don't worry (I do that all the time too!) What I meant was that I can't figure out what goes after the '#' in the thredds string that is passed to openDataset().
