I won't tell if you don't. ;-)
I convert my MM5 output to vis5d now and wanted to use IDV because I can make use of some of the shapefiles that I have instead of the maps in vis5d. The problem is that IDV does not like the vis5d from the tovis5d program. It doesn't recognize individual variables. It just sees them as one big block and therefore can't make any plots. IDV separates data into 2D and 3D. WIth my vis5d it does not do that. Am I using tovis5d incorrectly?
I was able to plot the data from this file. I think the confusion is over what is displayed in the Data Selector window. In that window, expand the 3D Grid Field to see the individual parameters. You can then select one of them and create the type of display you desire. Alternatively, you can use the Data menu to access the individual fields. One thing that is problematic with Vis5D files is that frequently there are no units associated with the variables. This appears to be the case with this file. The result is that some of the derived variables may not work. Don Murray ************************************************************* Don Murray UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden P.O.
