Hi Marty,
      I spent some time reviewing the code of NOWRAD iosp. Basically, the data 
value you seeing is so called "color level". I didn't do any conversion when I 
wrote this iosp. For the reflectivity, the conversion is time a scale 5. Is the 
NOWRAD reflectivity data the only NOWRAD data you are currently interested? We 
are in the period of moving to nc-Java 4.3, and it will take a while to make 
the change in the library. One quick solution is to use ncml to create a new 
data source type in the IDV. What do you think?
