Hi Valentine,
Is it possible to display the point data (esp METAR) from NOAA/FSL in FSL netCDF format using IDV?
I believe so. From the user guide: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/IDV/docs/userguide/data/DataSources.html we support Unidata and AWIPS formats for netcdf point observations. -Jeff
