Hi Don,thanks a lot. With the new nightly version I'm able to get nice vertical cross-sections. The alps where correctly positioned and the values seems okay.
The automatical selection of the projection still doesn't work with the 3d fields, and the grid-cells are placed according to their lat lon points in the default (mercator?) grid instead of in the polar-stereographic grid. I have to manually select the projection of one of the 2d fields to get my projection.
Best regards, Heiko Don Murray wrote:
Hi Heiko- I think I solved this problem and the fix will be in tomorrow's nightly build (after 4/17 8UTC): http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/release/nightly If you could test it out, I'd appreciate it.

Now I tried to see a 3d field with sigma levels. Though the projection parameters are the same, when looking at a plan-view of a single layer, idv reverts to its default projection instead of my polar-stereographic view.The problem is that for the IDV to plot the 3D sigma levels in the map display, it needs to have a relationship between sigma and altitude. The only way we have to do this is transform the grid to altitude values and in the process the projection information gets lost.When I try to make a vertical cross-section, I cannot see any data. The altitude display shows always a 'Distance along transect' scale from -0.4km .. 0.4 km and no altitude scale at all (autoscale y axis). The location coordinates of the cross-section are updated correctly.This was reported last week by another user. It uncovered a bug in the underlying netCDF Java library which has been fixed, so now I have to see what's happening on the IDV side.This looks all like a problem with my projection in the 3d fields, but I couldn't find any mistakes. Maybe somebody else can look at it? The file can be downloaded at ftp://ftp.met.no/pub/emep/heikok/Base_hour.ncI hope to have this figured out today, but since it involves a radicalchange in how we deal with the sigma grids, it might have other reprecussions.Don ************************************************************* Don Murray UCAR Unidata Program dmurray@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx P.O.
