Hi Benjamin-

Sorry for the delay in responding.  I took some time off over
the holidays.

rangeValue will be the individual timestep data which is a VisAD
FlatField which has the  structure of (lon,lat) -> (u,v).  To
get the u and v arrays, you'll need to call getFloats()
which will give you a 2D array of floats (u,v).  So, you
could call:

  uv = rangeValue.getFloats()

or 

  uv = rangeValue.getValues()

if you want doubles.  That will make a copy of the data in
the original field so you don't munge it.

I'm not sure of how these functions work, but if that suggestion
above doesn't help, let me know.

Same to you.
