Hi all,
 
I have a NetCDF file of gridded rainfall data, stored with a scaling factor or 
0.1 to facilitate integer storage.
The data looks correct (i.e. stored values are 10 times larger than the actual 
value) when inspected via NC Dump, OpenDAP ASCII, or THREDDS WMS. However,  
after applying the THREDDS NCSS subsetter, the output NetCDF file has values 
that are 100 times too large.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
