Re: NCDC data on TDS

This is a previously reported bug in the Java-DODS library which barfs on variables that have a "-" in their name. Could you get them to report the problem (ie squeak as loud as possible) ?
Also, advise them to upgrade at least to TDS 3.2 (maybe even 3.3 ?), their current version is: 

THREDDS Data Server Version 3.0.03rc9   Build Date = 2005-08-29 15:19:43

Here's the NCDC TDS: http://eclipse.ncdc.noaa.gov:9090/thredds-1/catalog.xml No radar data at this point. There's lots of time series stuff. Sure will be nice when we have aggregation and/or collection types working.
Ran into one problem as I was looking at some of their data. When I open the dataset 

dods://eclipse.ncdc.noaa.gov:9090/thredds-1/dodsC/isccp/SDSfcTmp-space.nc
in the grid view of the ToolsUI and then try to send it to the grid viewer I get the error message below.
