[THREDDS #DRR-610037]: FillValue....

attached are the example ncml we had during the workshop.

ethan is correct that grids cant deal with missing coordinates values.

> Hi Michael,
> 
> I don't believe this data can be viewed in the grid viewer. The problem is 
> that netCDF-java/CDM expects gridded data to have coordinate variables 
> without any missing values (so it can map between i,j and lat/lon). [John, 
> please correct me if I'm wrong on this.] An "image" feature type would be 
> more appropriate. Unfortunately, netCDF-java/CDM doesn't yet have an image 
> type.
> 
> Outside of that, a few comments regarding some of the variable attributes:
> 
> 1) The valid_* and _FillValue attribute values are all strings. The
> strings are typed ("0b", "-90.0f", etc) but somehow ended up as
> strings instead of the intended type.
> 
> 2) The variable "lon" has valid_max,min of 90,-90 instead of 180,-180.
> 
> I didn't find the examples we looked at during the workshop. I'll look a bit 
> more and ask John about them as well.
