Murray,

Go to the Dashboard, Data Choosers tab, and open the NCML as you would
a local file.

The NCML points http://marinedataliteracy.org/examples/bvqw1o9999.nc
so it should "just work". Examine the NCML file to see if it makes
sense.

Please let us know if you encounter problems.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
