We're trying to display non-hydrostatic MM5 data in IDV on the model's
native sigma levels. Sigma level support is provided in IDV through the
CF 'formula_terms' and 'standard_name' variable attributes, but this
only appears to cater for hydrostatic models. If anyone has any
experience with displaying non-hydrostatic MM5 model output on sigma
levels in IDV then we'd be very grateful to find out how you did it!

Thanks,

Andrew Digby
