Hi Remi,
      The IDV is able to visualize the many GRIB datasets, but with the 
restriction of the GRIB table, some dataset using non standard or customized 
table may have trouble to be loaded into the IDV. It is really not the issue of 
the data being the oceanographic or the atmospheric dataset, as long as the 
data is geo located. 
      You can try your dataset first to see if it can be loaded, otherwise, the 
IDV also provide a way for users to add the table themselves.

Here is the reference of the IDV userguide
