When I attempt to create a 3D isosurface, I get the following error:
Couldn't get data
SampledSet.init_samples: sample#2 length 1620000 doesn't match expected
length 1624500
The netcdf file is a lat/lon grid (-179.5-179.5 W/E, -89.5-89.5 S/N 1x1
deg) with 25 vertical sigma levels. The 3D fields I'm interested in are
pressure and extinction (sigma x lat x lon). The file opens fine in
NCVIEW, NCL, and IDL, so this may be a CF standards issue.
IDV 2.8u1 on RH Linux.
Here is the ncdump header information for the file, if this helps:
