Hi Mr. Thampi,
       I checked the netCDF file you attached, this nc file doesn't follow any 
conventions required by the IDV and can not be constructed as a radial type 
netCDF file. If you want to generate nc format, please follow this convention:

http://www.ral.ucar.edu/projects/titan/docs/radial_formats/CfRadialDoc.pdf

Also be aware that this document is still under development.

I wonder what is the original format of the radar volume file, does it use the 
format like NEXRAD? If so, you probably don't need to do any format converting.
