Hi all- The latest IDV nightly build available at: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/idv/nightly/index.jspsupports direct reading and display of GrADS binary grid files. I added a new IOSP to the netCDF-Java layer to support this. If you use GrADS files, I would appreciate more testing of this feature. To read in a GrADS binary dataset, you would select the CTL (Data Descriptor File) in the file chooser.
A few caveats:- this only supports the raw binary format (no DTYPE). All other formats are supported natively already.
- it does not support:- ensembles with varying time dimensions since I didn't have any examples. If you have examples of these (actual files, not just a ctl), please let me know.
- projected data (ctl files with PDEF) - 365 day calendars (since netCDF-Java doesn't support this). If you find any problems or have any comments on this, please let me know. Don -- Don Murray NOAA/ESRL/PSD and CIRES 303-497-3596 http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/people/don.murray/
