ROMS/ vdf-vdc/ problem with layered grid

Hi

I'm using romsvdfcreate to create a vdf and populate a vdc from three roms output files (wc12_ccsra31_his_cycle_avg_29227.nc wc12_ccsra31_his_cycle_avg_29231.nc wc12_ccsra31_his_cycle_avg_29235.nc) and a grid file (UCSC_grid.nc) using:

/usr/share/vapor-2.5.0/bin/romsvdfcreate wc12_ccsra31_his_cycle_avg_29227.nc wc12_ccsra31_his_cycle_avg_29231.nc wc12_ccsra31_his_cycle_avg_29235.nc /data/datasets/grids/UCSC_grid.nc /home/smcc/dynamic_data/projects/projects2017/visualization/vapor/roms.vdf

When I load the vdf into vaporgui, the coordinate space looks just like a line rather than a box of some sort. I cannot seem to stretch the dimensions into a box, which suggests to me that I have a problem with the layered grid in my vdf and vdc. The vdc does contain a subdirectory called ELEVATION and another called h.

Any suggestion as to how to proceed?

Best fishes

Hi Sam,

Do you have a dropbox or ftp link to a data file along with the grid?  I'll see if I can reproduce it.

Hi Scott
Yes, I do. Please send me your email to sam.mcclatchie@noaa.gov and I will share the files with you.
