Hi folks,
I'm writing a point netCDF 3 dataset which I've had no luck in getting
either the IDV or netCDF (2.2) Tools to open (it does an NCDump but does
nothing under the PointObs tab). It's essentially an XYZT dataset; I've
included its CDL below. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, what
I'm not doing that I need to do, and (or) send me an example point
netCDF dataset that can be opened by the IDV and netCDF Tools?
Thanks *--* Mark
