Arun,

Thanks for providing the screenshots; they made it much easier to have ideas as 
to what's going on.

The problematic file, wfrout.nc, which I'm guessing is from a WRF run, is 
probably not compliant with the Climate and Forecasting (CF)
conventions for netCDF files (http://cfconventions.org/), and thus toolsUI is 
not able to properly make sense of the data. This is a known
problem with WRF output. Here are some resources to help you fix it:

I hope these help.
