[IDV #OVR-601731]: IDV Problems Using CF Compliant WRF Files

> Hi Yuan,
> 
> I tried yet more experiments with IDV 5.5 on Windows 10 to get vertical cross 
> sections to scale correctly, but I always get the identical error messages 
> and plot results. I added coordinates attributes for each 3D variable and 
> tried 5 different possible variables for vertical coordinates:
> 
> MIXR:coordinates = "XLONG XLAT ZNU"
> MIXR:coordinates = "XLONG XLAT ZNW"
> MIXR:coordinates = "XLONG XLAT Z"
> MIXR:coordinates = "XLONG XLAT GP"
> MIXR:coordinates = "XLONG XLAT eta"
> 
> 1) Please let me know what IDV needs in its WRF NetCDF file to display 
> vertical cross sections properly. I am becoming fluent at creating WRF NetCDF 
> files using NCL, so I can tailor the files to IDV's needs - but I cannot 
> figure out what IDV needs in its input files to specify the vertical 
> coordinate units.
> 
> As in the post 
> https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/help/MailArchives/idv/msg07504.html, I 
> also will definitely want to use NCL to create a grid of 3D variables 
> interpolated to PRESSURE level coordinates, and possibly also to THETA and 
> THETAE coordinates, and plot vertical cross sections of them.
> 
> 2) Please also let me know what IDV needs in its WRF NetCDF file to display 
> vertical cross sections properly for PRESSURE vertical coordinates.
> 
> 3) Please also confirm whether or not IDV can indeed plot vertical cross 
> sections for THETA and THETAE vertical coordinates.

> Thanks!

Hi Jim,

It is time to send me a sample file, the ncdump information does not provide 
enough detail for me. Please upload a file here:
