If I understand, you have separate files for each hour of your WRF data?
If that is the case, you might be able to use NCML to aggregate your
files so they "appear" to be in a single file. The idea is that your
create a small text file (the NCML) which logically combines your
individual files and creates a new "dimension" called "time"; you then
point the IDV at this NCML file and the NetCDF library presents the
sequence of your files as a single file to the IDV.
I have used this technique for this type of data (one hour per file)....see
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/ncml/v2.2/Aggregation.html>
for information about using this. But....that's about all I know about it!
