Ernest,
The basic idea for a single time step netCDF file is to add a time
dimension and a variable to
associate with this dimension, this dimension length is one and the variable
can be a scalar, one of the
attribute should be _CoordinateAxisType with value equal "Time". If you have
any question about the
standard of the netCDF file, please send your question to address@hidden.
The other option is to use ncml to modify your netCDF file, and the IDV
can display this ncml file
as if it has a time dimension.
But for the better pratice of standard netCDF, you should consider the
first option.
