I tried retrieving several of your netCDF files so I could look at them, but
there was some sort of problem with the files or the retrieval. The files I
get via gopher are very small, for example:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 russ 818 Jan 18 09:36 01189415.nc
and when I try to look at the file with ncdump, I get the following:
% ncdump 01189415.nc
ncopen: NC_xtypelen: Unknown type 1953658213
Are you sure the complete files are available via the gopher server?
