I tried removing the "ens" dimension in NcML
BEFORE
<variable name="no4lftxsfc" shape="ens time lat lon" type="float">
<attribute name="_CoordinateAxes" value="ens time lat lon " />
<attribute name="_FillValue" type="float" value="9.999E20" />
<attribute name="missing_value" type="float" value="9.999E20" />
<attribute name="long_name" value="** surface best (4 layer)
lifted index [k] " />
</variable>
AFTER
<variable name="no4lftxsfc" shape="time lat lon" type="float">
<attribute name="_CoordinateAxes" value="time lat lon " />
<attribute name="_FillValue" type="float" value="9.999E20" />
<attribute name="missing_value" type="float" value="9.999E20" />
<attribute name="long_name" value="** surface best (4 layer)
lifted index [k] " />
</variable>
and although that allows them to appear as "Grid" variables in the
ToolsUI "feature" tab, when you try to plot I get:
GridRender.makeHSlice Error reading netcdf file= java.io.IOException: Number of
ranges in section (3) must be = 4
