Hi John, This is great news and I appreciate the heads up. The only suggestion I would make is to keep it as the word "plus" in place of "and" because there is the small possibility that "and" may not make sense in some cases. I have had success with changing it using the name that it gets turned into with "two_depths_below_surface" and greatly appreciate your help with that work around. Thanks for the update!

This will be in latest 4.5.0. That should obviate any need for ncml. John On 3/19/2014 1:29 PM, Phil Cogbill (NOAA Affiliate) wrote: Hey John, Sorry for the delay. We had an issue with one of our main disk systems that required most of my time today and yesterday... I've had this draft going in between different delays. The name does get changed to "Volumetric_soil_moisture___frozen_%2b_liquid_layer___between_two_depths_below___surface_layer" without any NcML. With NcML it gets turned into both "Volumetric_soil_moisture___frozen_%2b_liquid_layer___between_two_depths_below___surface_layer" _and_ "Volumetric_soil_moisture___frozen_and_liquid_layer___between_two_depths_below___surface_layer". I have attached a .zip file that has screen shots of the different parts of the OPeNDAP form. *Files in the attached .zip file:* * * *Plus - XML - service.txt* - Text file with the services for the dataset. *Plus - XML (no NcML) - datasetScan.txt* - Text file with the <datasetScan> and no NcML *Plus - XML (NcML Added) - datasetScan.txt* - Text file of the datasetScan with NcML added to fix the "+" in the name *Plus - OPeNDAP Form (no NcML) Global Attributes.00.png* - Image with global attributes from datasetScan without NcML. *Plus - OPeNDAP Form (no NcML) - Variable Listing.00.png* - Image with variable listing without NcML *Plus - OPeNDAP Form (NcML added) Global Attributes.00.png* - Image with global attributes from datasetScan with NcML *Plus - OPeNDAP Form (NcML Added) - Variable Listing.00.png* - Image of first variable with NcML added (same OPeNDAP form) *Plus - OPeNDAP Form (NcML Added) - Variable Listing.01.png* - Image of variable with NcML listed a second time (same OPeNDAP form) If there is anything else, please let me know. This is a dataset that has a featureCollection as well. Here is the text from that... <!-- NARR-A - PoR Feature Collection Aggregation ========================= --> <featureCollection name="NARR-A - Feature Collection" path="gribFC/NARR-A-FC" harvest="true" featureType="GRIB" > <metadata inherited="true"> <serviceName>ALL</serviceName> <dataFormat>GRIB-1</__dataFormat> <documentation type="summary"> North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) is an extension of the NCEP Global Reanalysis run only over the North American Region.

It too has the same issue with the plus as the other datasetScans have. Please let me know if there is anything else I can supply you from my end. I wish there was an easy way to get you to view this service from your place. :-( Again, I am very sorry for the delayed response, but our disk systems decided to go on vacation without me.

Check you are looking at the variable name, not the description.* Im guessing that the real name is something like: "Volumetric_soil_moisture_____frozen_+_liquid_layer_between_____two_depths_below_surface_____layer" no longer "Volumetric_soil_moisture_____frozen_+_liquid" as it was in 4.2. can you double check?
