Re: [idvusers] [Q] No gridded data found for ...

Hello Jiwon-
You need to add the "positive" attribute to the vertical dimension. See this section of the CF Manual: 

http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-conventions/1.5/cf-conventions.html#vertical-coordinate
If you place the attached NcML file in the same location as the netcdf file, you can open that in the IDV. It uses NcML to add in that attribute. 

Good luck.

Don

I'm a beginner of NetCDF and IDV.

I just created a simple NetCDF file, but when I tried to read this file into
IDV, I got an error message "No gridded data found for ..."
This simple NetCDF file passes a CF compliance checker.

Here is the complete .nc file (117KB).

Please check this .nc file and give me some feedback.

         latitude = 19 ;
         altitude = 6 ;

         int longitude(longitude) ;
                 longitude:standard_name = "longitude" ;
