[Wrf-users] [ncl-talk] Cannot access WRF/Chem 3.5 files through NCL

[Wei Huang]

It is likely that the WRF-chem uses NetCDF4 features for its output.
You can check this by "ncdump -k your-wrf-chem file" to see if it is netCDF-4.
In that sense, you need to re-compile your ncview with NetCDF
being hdf5-eabled.
