Hello Charles,

I'm getting very confused as to what should and shouldn't work in cmor. I thought I had a work around to the grid problem below, but I'm still not sure CMOR is working quite right (it seems to want to reverse the longitudes when it shouldn't). When I was trying to produce a test case demonstrating my current problem I managed to generate yet a different set of errors. I've attached the test case which is throwing up the new (and I think incorrect - but please review the test) errors.

This is causing us some frustration as its delaying us distributing some data from a regional model. If you could find some time to have a look at the problem it would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jamie

@jkettleb I think this is fixed right?

Hello Charles - from what I remember Karl said he thought CMOR should not deal with this kind of specification of the longitudes. But I can't remember all the details. I'm happy for you to close this and we can reopen as necessary.
