[IDV #NJE-239274]: IDV question

Hi Jess-

The best format would be a netCDF file using CF conventions.  Depending on
the current format of the data, you have a couple of options:

- use the netCDF library to write a program to create the netCDF file.
- if you just have ascii text, you might try using the instructions at:

This work was done outside of Unidata so we don't support it, but it
might help you get started.  If you have questions, let us know.
