Hi,

I tried to look at 3D data with sigma-levels and PT and PS defined. This
looked really strange, cutting of all data below a certain height, until
I found out, that PT was giving pressure in Pa, while PS was giving
pressure in hPa. Both variables had the units argument set correctly.

So, it looks like IDV doesn't respect the units for these variables?
Fixing both pressures to be in Pa (ncml and <values>) gave me a nice
display.

Best regards,

Heiko

Hi Heiko,

     Thanks for reporting this problem.
