There is one small difference in the dataset opendap link: Yours: <access serviceName="opendap" urlPath="http://weather.rsmas.miami.edu/repository/opendap/synth:601aa404-ac59-4abb-8c4f-11c08474a214:LzIwMTEtMTAvQW5hLTEwMDEwMDAwMTAwMTAwMDAxLmdyYg==/entry.das"/> and Motherlode ramadda: <access serviceName="opendap" urlPath="http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/entry/show/output:data.opendap/entryid:synth:a136862d-1253-4096-b864-ac53028253d7:L3J0bW9kZWwvMTQwMzAzMDZfbm1tLkdyYkYwMzAwMA==/14030306_nmm.GrbF03000/dodsC/entry.das"/> I have the feeling that dodsC is the key to let the IDV know this is gridded dataset, somehow is missing in your link. I am CC this to Jeff to see if this is right and how to add this.
