[gradsusr] Error opening NetCDF file

[diego]

Hi all:


I have taken a netcdf data file from the following link:
ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/cmb/ersst/v3b/netcdf/
While I try to open this file in GrADS I got the following error message:

ga-> open ersst.ctl
Scanning description file:  ersst
Data file ersst.198901.nc is open as file 1

ga-> q file

can anywhere help me ?

Thanks
