Howdy Chen Hao!

It is possible that you have a netCDF-4/HDF5 data file, and your MATLAB cannot 
read it.

I don't know if the latest MATLAB supports netCDF-4. I think that it does. You 
might be able to fix this problem by upgrading.

The nccopy utility included in the latest netCDF release will allow you to copy 
files from netCDF-4/HDF4 to netCDF classic format.

Thanks,

Ed
