John,
I was hoping you could point me in the right direction. I am
experimenting with the v2.2 Alpha specifically because I wanted to see
how it read NEXRAD level three NIDS files. I have not yet been
successful. Should the library be able to handle that type yet? Is
NEXRAD Level 3 one of the native types in v2.2 or do I need to
register it? Is there possibly a java snippet somewhere that I could
look at? Sorry if this is covered somewhere in the docs. I did an
initial reading and may have missed the topic due to my unfamiliarity
with the API.
Thanks

Hi James:
yes, version 2.2.06 should work on NIDS data; its already registered.
Just open it as if its a netcdf file, eg
NetcdfDataset ncfile = null;
try {
ncfile = NetcdfDataset.openDataset( location, addCoords, task);
if (ncfile == null) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "NetcdfDataset.open cant
open "+location);
}
} catch (IOException ioe) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "NetcdfDataset.open cant open
"+ioe.getMessage());
}
or try it in the ToolsUI program.
sorry the documentation not yet very complete.
if you have problems, send me the error message and/or the file.
