Dear experts,
Kindly help your help. I'm downloaded a data of sea ice from CMIP5, sic_OImon_ACCESS1-0_historical_r1i1p1_185001-200512.nc. To open it,I do the control file as below but it still can't be open
dset ^E:\CMIP5\ACCESS1-0\sic_OImon_ACCESS1-0_historical_r1i1p1_185001-200512.ncoptions 365_day_calendarTDEF time 1872 LINEAR 0Z1jan1850 1mon
