[ncl-talk] read netcdf file

[Rick Brownrigg]

Hi,

ncdump is not a part of ncl.  The file appears to be a NetCDF4 file, which
apparently ncdump can not open. Ncl's utility "ncl_filedump" opens the file
just fine. I would note however, that you are using a version of NCL that
is rather old by now, and may not have full NetCDF4/HDF5 support, so I
would encourage you to upgrade to the latest version 6.6.2:
