Odd appearance of a CLOUD-Dataset

[HerzogStephan]

Actual behavior

Cate-GUI and Cate-CLI somehow change the data representation of a CLOUD ODP-dataset('esacci.CLOUD.mon.L3C.CLD_PRODUCTS.MODIS.Terra.MODIS_TERRA.2-0.r1' ) from being spatial to points at the crosses of a grid. (For a better understanding see the screen-shots below.)

Expected behavior

A data representation a user is used to.

Steps to reproduce the problem

I encountered this issue while testing cate with the following shell-script.

1. Select the 'esacci.CLOUD.mon.L3C.CLD_PRODUCTS.MODIS.Terra.MODIS_TERRA.2-0.r1' dataset in GUI
2. Select 'Download and/or open remote dataset'
3. Enter the following constraints in the 'Download Data Source'-Panel: Time Constraint: 2007-01-01 to 2007-12-31 Region Constraint: lon 72 to 85 and lat 8 to 17 Variable Constraint: cfc, cot Download and make local: local.esacci.CLOUD.mon.L3C.CLD_PRODUCTS.MODIS.Terra.MODIS_TERRA.2-0.r1_UC06S1T1
4. Press 'Download'
5. Switch to 'Local Data Sources'
6. Open the previously downloaded data

Timestep: 2007-01-01 has an odd representation:

1. Select the 'esacci.CLOUD.mon.L3C.CLD_PRODUCTS.MODIS.Terra.MODIS_TERRA.2-0.r1' dataset in GUI
2. Select 'Download and/or open remote dataset'
3. Enter the following constraints in the 'Download Data Source'-Panel: Time Constraint: 2007-01-01 to 2007-01-01 Region Constraint: lon 72 to 85 and lat 8 to 17 Variable Constraint: cfc, cot Download and make local: local.esacci.CLOUD.mon.L3C.CLD_PRODUCTS.MODIS.Terra.MODIS_TERRA.2-0.r1_UC06_test2
4. Press 'Download'
5. Switch to 'Local Data Sources'
6. Open the previously downloaded data

Timestep: 2007-01-01 has an expected representation:

For the previously mentioned shell-script the correlation seems to end-up being NA because of that behavior.

Specifications

Linux, cate-0.9.0_dev5

hi @forman I tested this one again (Windows, dev.20) as I thought it might be solved now. But when I ran the first set of steps with the GUI I saw the below. So this one will have to stay open.
