Hi Brian-

This is Don.  Since I did the animation based time driver, I decided to fix any 
bugs in that.

The problem is that your time driver goes from 2011-10-04 to 2011-10-08, but 
the MERRA 3-hr assimlation dataset only has data through 2010-12-31.  The IDV 
picks the closest times to the time driver set, which in this case is the last 
time - hence you only get one time.

A future enhancement would be to allow the user to set how far out of range 
from the time driver set it should go before it says there is no data 
available.  Usually the datasets are pretty well time synced so it isn't a 
problem.  Thoughts on that would be appreciated.

Don
