Changing Units in IDV

3) How do you change the units of fields such as temperature? Most
(except SST's) seem to be displayed in Kelvin.

Hi Hector et. al.,

When IDV recognizes a unit, it provides conversion to other scales.  On the
Displays menu (typically the right hand side of your IDV application) if you
right click on a field whose units you wish to change, a drop-down menu will
appear.  Scroll to Edit which will have its own drop-down menu.  One of the
options is "Change Display Unit" - typically in the case of temperature, you
will see all three scales (Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin), pick your
favorite and the IDV will do the conversion.

Enjoy!
Tom.
