[ncl-talk] ncl_filedump error

[Joe Puma]

Hello NCL Users, 

I am working on a research project using netCDF files. However, when i search certain .nc files for the variable latitude using the command "ncl_filedump -v latitude 20150304_0200.nc” I receive the following errors:  

warning:FileReadVar: latitude contains a 0 length dimension
fatal:NclReturnValue: Incomplete information to create return value from builtin function
fatal:["Execute.c":8575]:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 84 in file /tmp/tmp22049.ncl

fatal:["Execute.c":8575]:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 197 in file /tmp/tmp22049.ncl

I have tried searching for the temp22049.ncl on the machine but cannot find it. I am working the supercomputer at the University of Oklahoma with unix, NCL, and other packages  installed. 

Any help on this error message would be much appreciated. 

Sincerely, 
Joe Puma
