Patrick,

Thanks for your nice words about the IDV.

The standard piece of advice we tell all our users when manipulating WRF output
in the IDV is to first post-process the data with the UPP.

http://www.dtcenter.org/wrf-nmm/users/overview/upp_overview.php

If you have done that step and the IDV is still not working for you, you can
upload your data here:

http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/alias/idvupload

Please let us know when the data are uploaded.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support

> difficulty and even better, please suggest a solution. I have displayed the
> RAINC and RAINNC variables using NCVIEW, however I really wanted to see
> data plots at the specific grid points which IDV normally does well. I have
> attached the ncview and IDV images of RAINC and RAINNC to this email. With
> IDV I am seeing RAINNC being displayed as total gridscale precipitation and
> nothing from total cumulus precipitation and total non-comulus
> precipitation.
