[IDV #OYK-379916]: IDV netCDF file ingestion rules

> Full Name: Jim Schmidt
> Email Address: address@hidden
> Organization: Crown Consulting
> Package Version: 3.0u2 build date:2012-02-10 17:21 UTC
> Operating System: Windows Vista
> Hardware: Java: home: C:\Program Files\IDV_3.0u2\jre version: 1.6.0_20 
> j3d:1.5.2 fcs (build4)
> Description of problem:
> 
> I have numerous valid NetCDF ver.3 and ver.4 files from the SOCIB
> THREDDS service
> 
> ( http://thredds.socib.es/thredds/catalog.html ),
> 
> but the IDV (latest version) does not recognize any of them as valid
> NetCDF files.  My NASA Panoply and ncbrowse apps, however, parses them
> perfectly!   This is particularly vexing as regards trajectory type data,
> having clearly identified lat,lon,time axes.
> 
> See attached SOCIB example file.
> 
> Please advise what specific featureType or other such parameter(s) may
> be missing which would enable the IDV to handle these files correctly.
> I have over 10,000 aircraft-based tracks to work on and have committed to
> using IDV for the visualization, thus this is quite a troublesome concern.

The attached file need to be renamed to ****.ncml before loading to the IDV. 
This is grid data not track data. Not sure why these data stored as ncml.
