IDV gurus,
I stumbled across this page of NetCDF-Java supported Standard
Coordinate Transforms:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/reference/StandardCoordinateTransforms.html
and was surprised (and pleased) to see that in addition to several CF
convention vertical coordinates, there was an additional non-CF
compliant "explicit_field" coordinate.
It looks like this allows one to supply the 3D or 4D field of z
positions in the case that the CF conventions don't have your favorite
flavor of vertical coordinate. That would be great.
So my questions are:
1) Does IDV work with vertical coordinates specified using "explicit_field"?
2) Assuming the answer is "yes", do you have an example netcdf file
using this "explicit_field" that we could look at? It's not clear to
me exactly what the file should look like, and of course the CF
checker won't help us this time!
Thanks,
Rich
