Hi Ryan-

>the IDV to recognize it as radar data.  I've looked at the java source, 
>as well as an example CDL I was given, and I think I've gotten the file 
>into a form that should be recognizable to the IDV.  If I look at the 
>details for the file when the IDV loads it, however, the description is 
>"Geogrid data source".  I've attached the CDL for my file.  Is there 
>something I'm missing here?

When you open this file, try setting the data type to Netcdf Sweepfile
and see if that works for you.  By default, netCDF files will be
opened as grids.

If this doesn't work, could put put out a sample file for us to
test with?

Also, we are in the process of revamping our support for various
radar formats through a new netCDF API.  Would you be interested
in reviewing our proposed interface?
