[IDV #SJK-116567]: Error when generating volume rendering



Norhakim,

I have spent some time looking at your file, and from what I can tell it has
quite a few problems.

For starters, you'll need a missing_value attribute (see attached NCML).

Second, there are only non-missing data at 1012, 1009 hPa levels. Is this really
correct?

Third, the file claims to use CF 1.6. Make sure you are using the CF convention
correctly with respect to time. No times are defined in your file. (I am not
exactly sure what the CF conventions says here, but it looks suspicious.)

Fourth, you have a data level at 98 hPa. Is this really correct?

Take some time looking at your data, and before doing a "Volume Rendering",
please try some simpler plots to see if your data are as you expect. I find that
IDV "Value Plots" are really handy in situations where I am debugging the data.

Keep us up-to-date on your progress.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
