There is actually data there but the range of the data is ~0-6
and that is only in a small part of the image. The rest is 0.
With the default color table range of 0-255 you are getting mostly
black (using the gray scale color table).

Try changing the Color range - right click on the color bar
and select "Change Range"

You can also add a data probe or a data transect on this image to 
see the actual values.


Don is out for a few days but I'll ask him to look at this file
to see if there is anything wrong about the data or our reading
of the data.
