[IDV #BSW-267857]: Error in mapping CAMx air quality model outputs

Hi Srinidhi,

I saw you uploaded the .mass file, but I think you meant to upload the
.avrg.grd01 file.

At any rate, I was going to tell you to convert the data to netCDF, but digging
in the support archive I found the IDV may be able to read these data
(reference:
https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/thredds/v4.6/netcdf-java/javadocAll/ucar/nc2/iosp/uamiv/UAMIVServiceProvider.html)

At any rate, I'll need to see a sample data file (e.g.,
CAMx.v63.12US2.noMPI.20110501.avrg.grd01).

Also for our own records, here is another Unidata reference that mentions CAMx
output:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/thredds/current/netcdf-java/reference/formats/FileTypes.html

Best,
