Hi Ryan- I've been swamped this week, but am looking into it. The basic problem is that the 2D slices don't care about missing lat/lon points, but the 3D volumes do. I'm looking into ways around this. Don > http://raritan.dl.stevens-tech.edu/NYHOPS/nyhops_today.ncml > > By the way, we've met at the Northeastern Storms Conference in > Springfield, MA. I remember - you went to Kean. Are you going to this year's? I'll be there.
