GINI calibration values can be negative (for the data value range), and GEMPAK uses the left most bit of the stored integer to designate the signedness. Fixes #480

Minor addition - since the long_name attribute was there and so close, go ahead an add the standard_name attribute to the x and y coordinate variables.

// 0x7FFFFFFF -> left-most bit is zero, all the rest are 1's.
// The bit-wise & results in flipping the first bit of "mind" (because we know it is 1 at this point, and
// 1 & 0 -> 0) while retaining the rest of the pattern of mind (because 0 & 1 -> 0, 1 & 1 -> 1).
// To negate, just use the negative sign...we could do (mind & 0x7FFFFFFF) + 1, but let's not hang out

I don't understand the "+1" bit here

Missed the tilde...should be ~(mind & 0x7FFFFFFF) + 1 Update incoming

Backport of Unidata/netcdf-java#488

GINI calibration values can be negative (for the data value range), and
GEMPAK uses the left most bit of the stored integer to designate the
signedness. Fixes Unidata/netcdf-java#480.

Minor addition - since the `long_name` attribute was there and so close,
go ahead an add the `standard_name` attribute to the `x` and `y`
coordinate variables.
