Paul,

I belatedly read the "Adding two different 4d grids" thread on the IDV Users 
list.

I have been using your formula to add 4D fields that physically do not make 
sense (e.g., geopotential height and relative humidity) without problems in the 
IDV. The IDV/Jython seem to be handling the unit incompatibility without 
problems for the fields I am experimenting with. Again, specific examples of 
what you are trying to achieve may be helpful.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
