Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

Re: netcdf file

Add the following attribute to the Lambert_Conformal variable:
  Lambert_Conformal:units = "m";

So the system knows the units of the false easting/northing. It should figure 
it out from the x,y coordinates, but it doesnt right now.

Its also a hole in the CF standard that should be added.

Hi John

Please find attached an example netcdf file.

I think there are two issues:

(1) Horizontal Position:
Does IDV understand the grid_mapping variable, or do I need
to include 2-dimensional lat on lon variables as described in
the CF-conventions document?

With above, should work.


(2) Vertical Coordinate:
The physical height above MSL is given by the 3-dimensional
ZP variable. Is there a way to make IDV understand this?

because you have a valid zc coordinate variable, it uses that. How would you 
imagine the IDS using the ZP coordinate?



Thanks for your help,
Juerg
