Greetings Mark,

The IDV supports the CF conventions via the netCDF-Java library. The issue
with your file is that the lat and lon coordinate variables contain missing 
data,
which is not allowed. I think your file will be ok once all of the values in the
coordinate variables are stored in the netCDF file.

Cheers!

Sean
