Re: [thredds] how to incorporate GDS catalog into TDS?

Perhaps that should be HYCOM/catalog.xml at the end of the URL. Also , when I do try to access that URL (HYCOM/catalog.xml) my browser states that there is an error: 

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 9448 at column 66: xmlParseEntityRef: no name

Thanks, Roy. Here is the GDS URL that I am attempting to incorporate:

http://apdrc.soest.hawaii.edu/dods/public_data/Model_output/HYCOM/xml

I added this line to my TDS catalog:
<catalogRef xlink:title="Test" xlink:href="http://apdrc.soest.hawaii.edu/dods/public_data/Model_output/HYCOM/xml " />
And I get the following error when I click on the above "Test" link in my TDS catalog: 
Catalog Service Request - Catalog Has Fatal Error
Catalog [http://apdrc.soest.hawaii.edu/dods/public_data/Model_output/HYCOM/xml ] has fatal errors:
