<p>Hi Gary,</p>
<p>You are likely having problems because of the extra dimensions on
your variables, specifically "copy" and "vert" (the good file has
var(time,lat,lon) while the bad file has
var(time,copy,vert,lat,lon). You might be able to use a control
file and map "vert" to ZDEF and "copy" to ensemble or something
like that.</p>

<pre wrap="">I have seen this problem reported earlier in the grads forum, but no clear
solution has emerged.
I'm using 2.0.2 on platform: Linux 2.6.32.59-0.7-default #1 SMP 2012-07-13
15:50:56 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Some .nc files do not open and give an error.
gadsdf: SDF file does not have any non-coordinate variables.
No script is being used. This occurs at the command line when attempting to
sdfopen the file.
The results from ncdump -h for the bad file and a similar good file appear
below..
The issue may be related to the "copy" variable.
Thanks for any advice, I did not write these files but have access to the
author who doesn't know what the problem is either.
