Wayne-

If you just want to change the unit on display, use the Edit->Change
Display Unit on the display control and set it to dam (decameters).  The
20th Century heights are in meters (m), instead of geopotential meters
(gpm) (but Tom didn't know that. ;-)).

I'm using 20th century reanalysis pressure height data on a daily
time scale, specifically 500mb heights (actual dataset name is
hgt.1962.nc). The raw units of the data are in meters and I'd like to
divide those units by 10 so they are in decameters. I've read the
documentation and am having trouble determining how to do that simple
operation. I am new to IDV and realize there is a learning curve
here. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
