Hi Stefan,

in your coordinate:
   int ilev(ilev=48);
     :long_name = "hybrid level at layer interfaces";
     :standard_name = "atmosphere_hybrid_sigma_pressure_coordinate";
     :units = "level";
     :positive = "down";
     :formula = "a: hyai b: hybi p0: P0 ps: PS";
     :formula_terms = "a: hyai b: hybi p0: P0 ps: PS";
     :_CoordinateTransformType = "Vertical";
     :_CoordinateAxes = "ilev";
     :_CoordinateAxisType = "GeoZ";
     :_CoordinateZisPositive = "down";

I didn't see the variable P0, PS, remove attribute formula, and change 
attribute units="". In the IDV, even though you see the error message pop up, 
it still display the 3D image, the vertical coordinate probably not correct. 
You should change the vertical scale to 100 m to see the 3D effect.
