> Description of problem: Hello,
> 
> Trying to simply plot the wind speed from two components U & V at a pressure 
> level 250 mb.  The data are NETCDF files downloaded from ESRL NCEP/NCAR 
> Reanalysis page 
> (http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/gridded/data.ncep.reanalysis.pressure.html).
>   I have attached the V component data file I am trying to use, to this 
> support form.
> 
> However, I get the following error:
> 
> Creating display: Contour Plan View
> visad.SetException: visad.SetException: Gridded3DSet.valueToGrid: 
> ManifoldDimension must be 3
> Gridded3DSet.valueToGrid: ManifoldDimension must be 3
> 
> Funny thing is when I download the surface U and V components the IDV 
> formulas for wind speed work correctly.

> Any help on this matter would be much appreciated.
