[IDV #ZMF-425504]: Unable to load .nc file

Alan,

The problem is the data provider made no effort to make this file CF compliant.

http://cfconventions.org/

Just glancing at it, I found the following problems:

- the latitudes and longitudes do not have CF units for degrees
- there are no coordinate variables (coordinate variables contain the 
  coordinate values for a dimension)

Not to mention, there is other weird stuff, e.g.,

"Longitude in decimal degrees (20-380 degree system)"

It is possible you may be able to fix it with a fair bit of NCML, though
that seems a (very) long shot.

It actually would not be hard to convert these data into CF compliant data, if
you don't mind writing a bit of (Python, for example) code.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
