Hi Sohail,

re:
> Can we load and show the netCDF file in McIDAS-X as an image?

The only netCDF files that are supported as "input" datasets
are the netCDF-4 files for the GOES ReBroadcast (GRB) delivered
GOES-16 imagery and the netCDF-4 files for the NOAAPort delivered
(so called SCMI) GOES-16 imagery.  SSEC wrote the ADDE servers
for the GRB imagery, and I wrote the ADDE servers for the NOAAPort
SCMI imagery.

Generic netCDF files are _not_ supported in McIDAS-X.

re:
> Is it possible to analyze netCDF files with ADT?

No,not in McIDAS-X, at least.  I seem to recall that ADT code
was added to our Integrated Data Viewer (IDV) application a
number of years back, but if the code is still there, it is
old as I don't think that there has been any effort to update
the code to the latest available from UW/SSEC/CIMSS.  Even if
the ADT code in the IDV had been updated, I can not say whether
or not it would be usable by the ADT code in the IDV (again,
if it is still there).

Cheers,

Tom
