Hello fellow IDV users,
I'm having issues with the time looping in IDV. I have a bunch of NetCDF files
with individual forecast hours, and I would like to be able to use the playback
controls to be able to step through the grids. Unfortunately, the grids will
stay up on the screen when they shouldn't.
I've already tried the "aggregate grids by time" option, which works to a
point--provided the grid doesn't change, I can use the playback controls. However, if I
have a nest following a hurricane, IDV fails to load the data. Are there any workarounds
for this? I've found this issue come up in the IDVusers archive, although, they were
brought up a while ago, so I am hoping there has been an update to the code to fix this.
Thanks,
I'm not sure if this will work, but load in each dataset individually
and then use the Forumala->Grid->Time Steps->Merge time sequences
formula and select each dataset.
"Aggregate grids by time" uses netCDF-Java aggregation via NcML which
assumes that all grids have the same spatial domain. If there is only
one timestep per grid, the IDV will show the timestep on all frames. If
the above suggestion doesn't work, could you could package up the files
in a zip file and upload to:
http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/alias/idvupload
and someone could look into a solution.
