[IDV #XNA-384239]: IDV - Data from MM5 netCDF to IDV supported netCDF

Hi Mark-

Okay, thanks for the info.

It's just a wrapper so it makes the changes that are defined in the NCML file.
You can use it to overwrite data, but here we are just adding/correcting
metadata.

You could create another NCML file for fua file.  If it's the same
structure, you could just copy the one I sent and change the filename.
At this point, there's no way in the IDV to associate an NCML template
to a group of files - the NCML file has to reference the file it
modifies.

If you need help generating an NCML file for the fua file, send me a sample
file.
