Re: [idvusers] assign vertical coordinate (value) to flat ADDE image

Hi Don,

> It's like the reverse of GridUtil.makeDomain2D, but harder. ;-)

Yes, I have seen a method in Unidata's GridUtil package that slices a 3D grid 
to obtain a 2D fieldimpl.... And yes, the reverse is indeed harder ;-(

The reverse: construct a 3D grid from a manifold of 2D singleBanded ADDE 
images, all sharing the same coordinate systems, yet with a missing z-level.

The 20 discrete (MODIS) vertical levels to the following pressure-levels (in 
mb):
 5,  10,  20,  30,  50,  70,  100 , 150 ,  200 , 250 ,  300 ,   400  ,
500 , 620 ,  700 ,   780 ,  850 ,  920 ,  950, 1000

Where the lowest index 0=5mb, ..., 20=1000mb.

For each level there are 3 fields: the retrieved temperature (K)¸ retrieved 
moisture (dewpoint) temperature, and a geopotential height (msl) field.

Below this message a _very_ ugly attempt but I clearly goes beyond my 
capacity.... Attached to this message I provide an IDV-bundle containing the 
input data.

Cheers, Tyn
