[Met_help] Help with viewing pcp_combine output

[John Halley Gotway]

Mark,

Thanks for registering.

Unfortunately, the answer to your question is no, you cannot currently view it through IDV.  We get the same error message from IDV that you're seeing.  I wish I had some trick to make it work, but I
don't.  However, the good news is that enhancing our support for NetCDF files is at the top of our priority list for the next release.  Specifically, we're working toward better support for
CF-compliant NetCDF files.  As part of that process, we'll ensure that the MET NetCDF output files can be viewed via IDV.  But for the time being, you're pretty much stuck with viewing them through
ncview.

I am then using pcp_combine to subtract the precip from two time periods. (say 1500 UTC to 1200 UTC, 1 Nov 2009). The pcp_combine runs successfully and creates a netCDF file. I can look at the file using ncview or dump the file using ncdump. However, I would like to view it in IDV. When I try to load it, idv complains that "No gridded data found for:" even if I specify that this is a netCDF file. Any ideas?
