Helene,

Good to know you found a solution. Stop by Unidata if you need any additional 
help.

Best,

> Fortran script I just changed the dimension name there from
> 'num_metgrid_levels' to 'pressure', a fix that will work fine unless one is
> not generating met_em-files. Now the P_INTERP output files work great with
> IDV, so I'll just use the modified P_INTERP from now on and forward.
