[IDV #SUF-224604]: netcdf file formatting issue

I am checking the dataset named lma_Redoubt_20090323_1230.nc, is this the one 
you uploaded? The problem is that there is no 
grided variable in this file, only lat/lon/time coordinate variables. You need 
to add at least one real variable, such as temperature or pressure, based on 
these coordinate variables.
