Folks, Following up on the helpful input from Don & Stuart, I've posted a sample NetCDF file that has no longitude or latitude variables that is still readable in IDV (and the NetCDF/Java library): http://stellwagen.er.usgs.gov/rps/share/example_xy.nc To create it, I just took a file that Don gave me a while ago and removed the lon,lat variables to prove that it worked. A small bundle that shows that IDV can read this file is at: http://stellwagen.er.usgs.gov/rps/share/example_xy.xidv NOTE: This file has another interesting characteristic: the vertical coordinate is 4D, varying in both x,y,z and time, so is specified explicitly. CF doesn't have a convention for this, but the Unidata Common Data Model does. Scroll to the bottom of this page: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/reference/StandardCoordinateTransforms.html to see the technical specification for "explicit_field", and then look at the file above to see it in action. -Rich -- Dr. Richard P.
