[IDV #CAY-405864]: IDV info

Greetings Angela,

It's possible that you will need to modify the netCDF file with some basic
information. This can be done using NCML, an xml file that netCDF-Java
can read that will allow you to 'fix' the netCDF file without actually
re-writing it. Based on the changes made using NcML, you can modify
the program to write the proper attributes needed to allow the IDV (and
other software that follows the CF standards) to read your file without the
need for NcML. If you have a sample file, you may upload it to our support
area and I can try to write a basic NcML file that will point you in the right
direction and allow you to get things going in the IDV.
