System unit defaults
Posted: Thu Jun 09, 2016 6:08 pm
Hello,
I'm not sure what I'm requesting, but wanted to share a recent confusing situation with McIDAS-V.
We brought in a (GOES-R) Land Surface Temperature field and a Sea Surface Temperature field, both via netcdf. In the files, both have units of K.
Yet, the sst was displayed in C, since a (non-editable) system file says basically "if sst, then C units". Now, I could work around this but putting in an entry in my user properties, but that won't help others in the same situation.
I guess one idea is to pop up a dialogue box (which could be turned off) when the system is over-riding the units in the file.
Thanks,
Tim
