Hi Mike-
There are still some issues as you note below and Cathy hopes to address
them next week. Some are easy (like the garbled variable name), others
are a little tricker (like the date and levels). For example, if you do
a composite of multiple dates/years, what should the resulting date be?
Same with composites of multiple levels. I was out sick yesterday,
but will talk to Cathy on Monday.

Hi Don,
Wow... that was some quick work! NetCDF files from the plot web pages
are now loading in IDV, but there's a few quirks which you may have
alluded to.
Attached is a screen capture for you to inspect. A few notes:
1.) The date is really weird (but it *is* a composite of 3 dates, so
that may be expected)
2.) This is a 500mb Mean Geopotential Height field, but IDV insists that
it is 1000mb. (It did the same thing with 700mb u and v-component wind,
plotting only when selecting '1000mb')
3.) The field label shows up in the Field Selector as just a
square-shaped ASCII character, but shows up properly in the graphic
label and legend.
Let me know if I should still try working with those files you sent
earlier. I came in this afternoon and received all three messages at the
same time.
Thanks again to you and Cathy.

We (ESRL) think we have fixed the problems with the netCDF grid
projections. There are still some issues with the variable names and
times which we hope to fix next week, but the projection is okay. If
you go back to your link below, try using the netCDF files in the IDV.
Thanks to Cathy Smith at ESRL for the quick fix.
