Yes, you can use the netCDF import facility in DX to read LAPS output. However, LAPS does not write data to netCDF in a standard fashion, so you will need to modify the data appropriately either before or after import. As to what the modifications are, you'll need to verify how LAPS is outputing the data. As to RAMS data, we modified RAMS to produce custom output in a more efficient fashion in native coordinates rather than use the native RAMS output. As to MM5 output, I have gone through a post-processor to convert data from sigma levels to isobaric levels and dumped the results into AWIPS-type netCDFs. It has similar but not the same problems as LAPS netCDF output.

Do you have some idea about any way to do that. I don't know much about DX but here I see that it have NetCDF support. LAPS create output in NetCDF format so may be this can be used to view the MM5 model output in DX. As I understand the version which is used in the weather forecasting for the Olympic Games in Atlanta in '96 is other then the current version. Is there some point from where to download this modification of DX beacuse I plan to use DX to visualize the numerical model output. Thank you for any ideas.
