Tom,

it's at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/nightly/ If there's a problem, 
contact IDV support.

In your ncml file, how did you calculate the pressure levels? In the GDS there 
are the values for the
for the a's and b's for the formula  a + b * surface pressure value = vertical 
level value. The value in the records go from 91 - 1. 

The documentation I'm using is at:
http://www.ecmwf.int/research/ifsdocs/DYNAMICS/Chap2_Discretization4.html
using formula 2.11

The a and b values are listed at:
http://www.ecmwf.int/products/data/technical/model_levels/model_def_91.html

Looking at the table, it looks like you copied the values from the last column 
pf[hPa]?

Are the pressure levels static?

Thanks,
RObb...
