Greetings Brian, The problem is that the netCDF file is not following metadata standards closely enough, and so the IDV isn't sure exactly what is going on inside the file. I've created some NcML that adds enough information that will allow the IDV to read the file (see attached). Again, just place this file inside the same directory as the data file you wish to open, and then open the NcML file with the IDV. Cheers!
