[IDV #ILT-566886]: vertical profiles with depth, not altitude

Murray,
     Yes, you can load this data to the IDV as a grid dataset, and if you do 
the volume rendering, you can see all 19 points under the surface.
     I thought you probably want to see this as a profiler dataset, and you 
need to follow the CF convention:
