[IDV #BAK-946539]: Aggregating Grids by Time

> I am attempting to create an image loop of satellite data using IDV

Hi Brian,

There is no time dimension in the netCDF GOES 16 files (but it does have time 
variable), so you need to write
a ncml file to do the aggregation. Here is some information about ncml:

https://docs.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf-java/current/userguide/ncml_aggregation.html

let me know if you need help to create a ncml file.

Thanks,
Yuan
