[idvusers] aircraft track data

Hi all,

I am new to IDV but it looks like a powerful tool. I want to plot aircraft track data which come in netCDF format. However, IDV is unable to read in the current netcdf file I have. Can someone point me to the correct format. At the moment the netcdf file looks something like this:


dimensions:
        data_point = UNLIMITED ; // (28980 currently)
        sps01 = 1 ;
variables:
        int Time(data_point) ;
                Time:long_name = "time of measurement" ;
                Time:units = "seconds since 2011-04-04 00:00:00 +0000" ;
                Time:_FillValue = -1 ;
                Time:standard_name = "time" ;
        float IAS_RVSM(data_point, sps01) ;
IAS_RVSM:long_name = "Indicated air speed from the aircraft RVSM (air data) system. " ;
                IAS_RVSM:units = "m s-1         " ;
                IAS_RVSM:_FillValue = -9999.f ;
                IAS_RVSM:Frequency = 1s ;
                IAS_RVSM:Number = 516s ;
        byte IAS_RVSM_FLAG(data_point, sps01) ;
IAS_RVSM_FLAG:long_name = "Flag for Indicated air speed from the aircraft RVSM (air data) system. " ;
                IAS_RVSM_FLAG:units = 1s ;
                IAS_RVSM_FLAG:_FillValue = -1b ;
                IAS_RVSM_FLAG:Frequency = 1s ;
        float TAS_RVSM(data_point, sps01) ;
TAS_RVSM:long_name = "True air speed from the aircraft RVSM (air data) system and deiced temperature. " ;
                TAS_RVSM:units = "m s-1         " ;
                TAS_RVSM:_FillValue = -9999.f ;
                TAS_RVSM:Frequency = 1s ;
                TAS_RVSM:Number = 517s ;
                TAS_RVSM:standard_name = "platform_speed_wrt_air" ;
        byte TAS_RVSM_FLAG(data_point, sps01) ;
TAS_RVSM_FLAG:long_name = "Flag for True air speed from the aircraft RVSM (air data) system and deiced temperature. " ;
                TAS_RVSM_FLAG:units = 1s ;
                TAS_RVSM_FLAG:_FillValue = -1b ;
                TAS_RVSM_FLAG:Frequency = 1s ;
        float TAT_DI_R(data_point, sps01) ;
TAT_DI_R:long_name = "True air temperature from the Rosemount deiced temperature sensor. " ;
                TAT_DI_R:units = "degK          " ;
                TAT_DI_R:_FillValue = -9999.f ;
                TAT_DI_R:Frequency = 1s ;
                TAT_DI_R:Number = 520s ;
                TAT_DI_R:standard_name = "air_temperature" ;
....




Any help is much appreciated.

Best wishes,
Sebastian
