Trouble reading GAMIC HDF5 file...fields dictionary is empty??

[wxwolff]

I have a GAMIC-HDF5 file that I am trying to read with pyart.aux_io.read_gamic(). At first glance, it appears to work; however, while most of the data and parameters such as elevation, azimuth, etc. read in, the fields dictionary is empty {}.

Here is a snippet of radar.info()

altitude:
data: <ndarray of type: float64 and shape: (1,)>
long_name: Altitude
standard_name: Altitude
units: meters
positive: up
altitude_agl: None
antenna_transition: None
azimuth:
data: <ndarray of type: float32 and shape: (2882,)>
units: degrees
standard_name: beam_azimuth_angle
long_name: azimuth_angle_from_true_north
axis: radial_azimuth_coordinate
comment: Azimuth of antenna relative to true north
elevation:
data: <ndarray of type: float32 and shape: (2882,)>
units: degrees
standard_name: beam_elevation_angle
long_name: elevation_angle_from_horizontal_plane

comment: Elevation of antenna relative to the horizontal plane
fields:
fixed_angle:
data: <ndarray of type: float32 and shape: (8,)>
long_name: Target angle for sweep
units: degrees
