That data team seemed to go out of there way to discard all previously working conventions. Anyway, I think that the McV team wrote an NPP reader themselves, so you might check with them. Meanwhile, I have improved our NPP Conventions and can now read than file correctly. The improved version will be out in 4.3.15 release, so you might watch for that.
