The only netCDF radar format we support is the NCAR sweep file format. Could you send a copy of your format that we could take a look at? We are currently working on supporting a variety of radar formats natively and we could possibly add this to the list. Is there documentation on the standard? > Here is the reported error from my first attempt to display: > > An error has occurred: > Creating ui:C:\DATA\A P P S Dual Pole\Reflectivity_0.00_20050513-070524.netcdf > Content is not allowed in prolog. When you opened the file, it looks like the IDV is trying to open it as an XML file for some reason. I don't think we would support your format natively, but if you change the data type to netCDF Sweep Files, I'm sure you'd get a different error message. ;-) Don Murray > Thanks.
