It would seem that the file is somehow corrupt, although I don't understand how or why. Are you able to open it with some other tool, such as "ncdump"? Can you simply discard it from your analysis? If it's not too large and you can send it to me, I will take a look, although obviously that won't change the outcome if it is indeed corrupt.</div><div><br></div><div>Rick<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Aug 6, 2021 at 2:57 AM Zilore Mumba via ncl-talk <<a href="mailto:ncl-talk@mailman.ucar.edu" target="_blank">ncl-talk@mailman.ucar.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hello,<div>I need help opening a WRF output file.
