Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

loading point-data to idv

I would like to load point data to the idv for the first time. The data I'm using is in NetCDF CF-1.0 convention, having a station axis connected to longitude/latitude coordinates, i.e. :

netcdf test {
dimensions:
        station = UNLIMITED ; // (94 currently)
        time = 366 ;
        dim_charlen = 4 ;
variables:
        float EPDL5(station, time) ;
                EPDL5:_FillValue = -9999.f ;
                EPDL5:component = "ammonium" ;
                EPDL5:component_id = "5" ;
                EPDL5:long_name = "ammonium, precip" ;
                EPDL5:matrix = "precip" ;
        char station(station, dim_charlen) ;
        short time(time) ;
                time:units = "days since 2002-01-01 00:00:00 UTC" ;
        double lon(station) ;
                lon:long_name = "station longitude" ;
                lon:units = "degrees_east" ;
                lon:_FillValue = -999999. ;
        double lat(station) ;
                lat:lat_name = "station latitude" ;
                lat:units = "degrees_north" ;
                lat:_FillValue = -999999. ;

// global attributes:
                :Conventions = "CF-1.0" ;
}

Trying to read it as URL->Point Data gave me just one field 'Point Data', and while trying to 'Create Display', I get the error message:
Unable to make PointObsDataset from file

Trying to read it as File didn't gave me a field at all.

I tried also to connect to one of the point-data servers, to look for an example, but I haven't been allowed to access the servers.

So, what do I have to do to display point data in IDV, and compare it i.e. as timeseries to one of my grid-cells.

Best regards,

Heiko
