> Hi,
> 
> I'm trying to use IDV to visualize some 3D model output over the U.S. 
> However, I'm having problems using my data in IDV to generate isosurface and 
> cross-section displays. In particular, it doesn't appears that the vertical 
> scale/dimension is getting read in properly. I'm getting the error message 
> included below. For the isosurface display, IDV is only plotting one 
> level/layer or the data is not appearing in 3D, only as a single layer. The 
> vertical scale of my data is in sigma coordinates. If necessary, I'd be happy 
> to send you some of my data.
> 
> Error Message" "Unknown vertical coordinate with Unit null"
> 
> Please let me know how my data/model output should be structured in the 
> netcdf file to ensure that the vertical scale/dimension is setup properly for 
> IDV. Also, is there a way to plot sigma coordinates or point IDV to use a 
> certain vertical scale from another file?
