Hello,

My apologies for the delayed response. In the screenshot you have provided of 
the command line, it app3ars that ncdump is having problems parsing the 
argument you are passing.  My suspicion is that it does not like the unescaped 
spaces in the file name path.  What happens if you enclose the file (and path) 
in quotes, e.g. "D:\Climate Change Nature\(...)RETO_SST_Tn"?  Alternatively, 
what if you were to change directories in the command line, such that you were 
to execute ncdump from the same directory as the data file? If this works, or 
continues to fail, it would help us determine if the problem is in how the path 
is being parsed by the ncdump utility.

Thank you, have a great day,

-Ward
