[Support #UPW-774161]: RE: [idvusers] Access to the Unidata and NSF xml catalogs in IDV

Hi Bill-

> I will try that later today. As for the backwards ordering I'm a little confused.  The CF conventions were telling me to do it so that an array was (T, Z, Y, X) and the CF diagnostic script said that it was OK.  Is IDV expecting a different order for TZYX?

No, that's what we are expecting, but your file looks like:

   float Temperature(nx_lon=50, nx_lat=50, nz_height_above_ground_t=15, nt_time=9);
     :long_name = "Temperature @ height_above_ground";
     :units = "K";
     :standard_name = "air_temperature";
     :coordinates = "time height_above_ground_t lat lon";
     :maxvalue = 301.2f; // float
     :minvalue = 200.0f; // float
   float Geopotential_height_surface(nx_lon=50, nx_lat=50);
     :long_name = "Geopotential height @ surface";
     :units = "m";
     :standard_name = "surface_altitude";
     :coordinates = "lat lon";
     :maxvalue = 3017.7f; // float
     :minvalue = 28.1f; // float

which is X,Y,Z,T and X,Y

I would expect them to look like:

   float Temperature(nt_time=9, nz_height_above_ground_t=15,, nx_lat=50, nx_lon=50);
     :long_name = "Temperature @ height_above_ground";
     :units = "K";
     :standard_name = "air_temperature";
     :coordinates = "time height_above_ground_t lat lon";
     :maxvalue = 301.2f; // float
     :minvalue = 200.0f; // float
   float Geopotential_height_surface(nx_lat=50, nx_lon=50);
     :long_name = "Geopotential height @ surface";
     :units = "m";
     :standard_name = "surface_altitude";
     :coordinates = "lat lon";
     :maxvalue = 3017.7f; // float
     :minvalue = 28.1f; // float
