Opaluwa,

The problem is your data are missing some lat/lon information for
display in the IDV. If you would like examples of upper air cosmic
data that can be viewed in the IDV please see here:

http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/entry/show/RAMADDA/RAMADDA+Examples/Sounding+Data/COSMIC+Data?entryid=68a0ac4c-b174-4ec6-b107-a7ca5f0c5727

You can use these examples to give you some idea of a data format that
would be acceptable for view in the IDV.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
