Hi Mohamaed,
     I checked the dataset you uploaded, the mlev doesn't follow the 
convention. Here is the URL of the atmosphere_hybrid_sigma_pressure_coordinate 
convention:

"http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-conventions/1.5/cf-conventions.html";

You need to modify the attribute of mlev according to this document and let the 
IDV recognize this coordinate.
