Global Hycom Reanalysis data

[lzh...@mail.usf.edu]

Hi, Michael,

Today when I access the Global Hycom Reanalysis data server Expt 19.0 from following OPeNDAP (http://tds.hycom.org/thredds/dodsC/GLBu0.08/expt_19.0/3hrly.html), this server is supposed to provide data with 3 hour interval.  However, when I show the first 50 time values, they are: 

-63528.0, -63525.0, -63522.0, -63519.0, -63516.0, -63504.0, -63501.0, -63498.0, -63495.0, -63492.0, -63480.0, -63477.0, -63474.0, -63471.0, -63468.0, -63456.0, -63453.0, -63450.0, -63447.0, -63444.0, -63432.0, -63429.0, -63426.0, -63423.0, -63420.0, -63408.0, -63405.0, -63402.0, -63399.0, -63396.0, -63384.0, -63381.0, -63378.0, -63375.0, -63372.0, -63360.0, -63357.0, -63354.0, -63351.0, -63348.0, -63336.0, -63333.0, -63330.0, -63327.0, -63324.0, -63312.0, -63309.0, -63306.0, -63303.0, -63300.0

From above data, we can find the first 5 data have 3 hours interval, then it jumps to 12 hours interval.  In the next 5 data, the time interval is 3 hours again and 12 hours interval on the next one and the same pattern continues.  Can you check it again to make sure my above question is correct?  If it is correct, Are you going to fix it?  

Thanks,

Lianyuan
