Hi Brian-Not at present. When you drawn an isosurface, you are just taking a slice out of the entire 3D volume. The constructed surface is done at a low level in the display (VisAD), not lat/lon/alt coordinates, and the IDV doesn't have a direct hook down to that level. One could probably write some code to get at that, but it would involve going down into the Shadow* classes where mere mortals fear to tread.
I'm pretty sure this was on the "TODO" list at one time, but since I'm not involved with development any more, you'd have to ask Unidata about that.

I can build the 3D surface, but only a field called Geopotential Height can be selcted for the “topography” in “xxx over topography” displays. Can I export the surface's height as a cache field or something?
