Greetings! Currently the IDV does not support this calendar. However, we are getting close to putting out our first builds of the IDV using the latest netCDF-Java (4.3) which does support this calendar. If you wouldn't mind, could you upload a sample datafile with this calendar (including the date/time you would expect to see in the IDV) and we will test it? http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/alias/idvupload Cheers!
