The problem you are seeing is that the IDV is not recognizing this
as a netCDF grid.  Files are associated with a data type by the
file name pattern or through the metdata in a THREDDS catalog.
In this case, you could either add a .nc extension to your filename,
or from the File chooser, change the Data Source Type from "Default" to
"Netcdf grid files".

If that doesn't work, could you give me a sample file?

Thanks.
