Re: Is NCL on gale/gust Dods enable?

Hi Andrea,

No, the NCL on gust/breeze is not DODs-enabled. I thought these
machines were behind a firewall,
but I just ran a test and I was able to open a file on an OPenDAP
server.

I will email you separately about how you can get access to an OPeNDAP-
enabled NCL.

Meanwhile, here's a little test I use:

  url = "http://test.opendap.org/opendap/data/nc/"
  filename = "123.nc"

  exists = isfilepresent(url+filename)
  if(.not.exists) then
    print("OPeNDAP isfilepresent test unsuccessful.")
    print("Either file doesn't exist, or NCL does not have OPeNDAP
capabilities on this system")
    status_exit(1)
  else
    print("OPeNDAP isfilepresent test successful.")
    f = addfile(url + filename,"r")
    vars = getfilevarnames(f)
    vars_out = (/"l","j","i","cross","aloan","shot","order","bears"/)
    sqsort(vars)
    sqsort(vars_out)
    check_values("OPeNDAP","vars",vars,vars_out,True,False,-999.)
  end if
