[IDV #YZW-359278]: ARPS with IDV

Hi Marwan-

No need to send another file.  We can work with the one we have.  I'm not
sure what they mean by the ADAS template.  The most likely cause is that
there are some attributes missing in the file that prevents the library from 
determining coordinate systems for the grid.  Our grid specialist is out until 
next week, so I'll get back to you then.   I'll forward this report over to him.

> " Off hand, I don't see anything wrong with the file. It's a netCDF

> it was a bad file, "arpspltpost" wouldn't have worked."

> On another email they mentioned that:
> 
> "The latest IDV should work with ARPS data. It requires a template file
> specific for ARPS data. If you are having trouble, please contact IDV
> support and ask for ADAS template."
> 
> Can you please help me on this issue? We plot WRF data using idv and the
> graphics is great! We are thinking of standardizing our multi model
> output graphics using idv on the account that it works with ARPS.

> I've attached the gun-zipped *.nc file if you need to check it. And the
> system I installed idv on is described in the attachment.
