[netCDF #XFU-348887]: AWIPS netcdf to ArcGIS

Hello Adrienne,

I'm able to confirm that the file you've provided is a proper netCDF file, via 
the command line tools.  So we can rule out any sort of issue related to file 
corruption.  Looking at the data therein, it appears to be the sort of data you 
would lend itself to visualization.  We don't provide any visualization tools 
as part of the netCDF library, and I am surprised to hear that there is a 
problem with ArcGIS.  Have you contacted ArcGIS support to see if their 
software requires any preprocessing of the data before displaying it?  Also, 
when you say it is displaying incorrectly, what exactly is happening? Is the 
data just 'wrong', or does it perhaps look like it is correct but displayed 
incorrectly (an axis transformation, incorrect geometry, etc)?  

I'm sorry I can't provide a more immediately useful answer, but ArcGIS support 
may be your best bet at this point as they will know more about the 
visualization process.  From the data perspective, there is nothing obviously 
wrong with your netCDF file.

Have a great day,

-Ward
