Re: thredds catalog generator

Hi David,

Sorry for the delayed response. I've been out sick for a few days. 
Rather than sending THREDDS questions directly to me, it would be better 
to send them directly to address@hidden. Those emails 
will get routed to whichever one of us is available at the time.

Does your eta file have multiple forecasts in the same file? If so, I'm 
surprised they aren't being listed in the IDV.

Currently, the IDV doesn't use the THREDDS catalog time information to 
determine the "Times" available. It is showing only what is available in 
the single dataset that was selected.

I'm not sure I'm understanding correctly. Let me know if this makes sense.
