Hi Rabindra Jena. We are planning on having the IDV read radar netCDF data. Specifically, we will be following the convention outlined here: http://ams.confex.com/ams/91Annual/webprogram/Paper178106.html However, this work is still in the planning stages so we will not be incorporating this format immediately.
