Re: [idvusers] Plotting NARR Composites

Hi Don,

Wow... that was some quick work! NetCDF files from the plot web pages are now loading in IDV, but there's a few quirks which you may have alluded to.

Attached is a screen capture for you to inspect.  A few notes:

1.) The date is really weird (but it *is* a composite of 3 dates, so that may be expected)

2.) This is a 500mb Mean Geopotential Height field, but IDV insists that it is 1000mb. (It did the same thing with 700mb u and v-component wind, plotting only when selecting '1000mb')

3.) The field label shows up in the Field Selector as just a square-shaped ASCII character, but shows up properly in the graphic label and legend.

Let me know if I should still try working with those files you sent earlier. I came in this afternoon and received all three messages at the same time.

Thanks again to you and Cathy.

-Mike

We (ESRL) think we have fixed the problems with the netCDF grid projections. There are still some issues with the variable names and times which we hope to fix next week, but the projection is okay. If you go back to your link below, try using the netCDF files in the IDV.

Thanks to Cathy Smith at ESRL for the quick fix.
