Hi John,thanks for your answer. Yes, you are right. I want to remove the dimension "ensemble" from a variable thetao(time, ensemble, level, lat, lon). Can I do this?Ferret can only read in variables with 4 dimensions. Thank you in advance, Regards, Remon On 02/22/2011 02:50 PM, John Caron wrote:On 10/21/2010 8:36 AM, Remon Sadikni wrote:Dear THREDDS Users,I do not manage to remove a dimension with NcML. I want to remove the dimension called ensemble from a variable thetao, which has 5 dimensions: time, ensemble, level, lat, lon, because Ferret (and LAS) can only read in 4 dimensional variables. Maybe you can see a mistake in my code?<dataset name="test" ID="test" urlPath="test"> <metadata inherited="true"> <serviceName>odap</serviceName> <dataType>Grid</dataType> </metadata><netcdf xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2" location="http://..."><remove name="ensemble" type="dimension" /> </netcdf> </dataset>Or is it not possible to remove a dimension? I found this possibility in the NcML-2.2 Schema, but I did not find any examples for removing dimensions. I should also mention, that I access the File via OPeNDAP in the location attribute of the netcdf-tag, but this should be no problem, because I managed to remove variables in the same way (<remove name="level" type="variable">).Thank you very much!

Is that correct?John _______________________________________________ thredds mailing list address@hiddenFor list information or to unsubscribe, visit: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/
