The IDV can write out as gridded data data from remote servers as well as being able to write out the data field that a display (e.g. plan view) is showing (through the display's file menu). For sampling a grid at a point you can perhaps look at the TDS grid as point service. e.g.: http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/ncss/grid/fmrc/NCEP/GFS/CONUS_80km/files/GFS_CONUS_80km_20090623_0600.grib1/pointDataset.html -Jeff Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: SBV-126709 Department: Support IDV Priority: Normal Status: Closed
