Re: Fwd: netCDF and IDV for the Deepwater Horizon

Hi CJ,

The head of the IDV went to NOAA, Climate Services PSD.

Have you changed your memory allocation in the IDV?

It is set at a 512 MB default, and it  can be bumped higher if the machine 
has the RAM. 32 bit machines will only offer 1.5 GB of space for the 
stack heap, but 64 bit machines can go much higher :)

We have run the IDV with 12 GB of RAM and had great improvement. You would 
also need to make sure you have the latest (2.9) version installed. Memory 
inprovements in the underlying Vis5D package have ben incorporated into 
that build.

Changing units ~should get rid of the 273 Kelvin offset...

Let us know how else we can help!

Cheers,

Jeff
