I'm trying to use the ETOPO1 Global Relief Model colored image
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/global/global.html
and
ftp://ftp.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/global/relief/ETOPO1/image/
as a background for a netCDF grid time series.
I've not been able to figure out how to get IDV 2.7u2 to display these
GeoTIFF images properly, however. In fact IDV seems to have problems
reading any image in GeoTIFF format--or perhaps I just haven't figured
out the right procedure. I can't seem to find any guidance on this in
the user guide or previous forum posts.
What is the correct process to use when adding a GeoTIFF to a display?

Hi Wayt,
The IDV really does not support geotiffs. For the etopo data you can use
Rich Signell's TDS server that provides a number of bathymetry and
topography data via opendap. You can access this under the
"Topography/Bathymetry" entry in the main IDV catalog under the catalog
chooser.
