Can some one please help me figure out how to access the NLOM data on the
NAVO DODS site.

Previous threads have suggested that if I use sdfopen then I should be
able to access the data.

I have attached the copy of the grads error below

Any help gratefully received

thank you

If this was an HDF-SDS file, try gradshdf.
