Dear Ansley:
Thanks for your above suggestion. I was in fact using Ferret version 6.2. But after getting your reply, I installed Ferret version 6.6 and tried the same hdf file. Now I get a different error with version 6.6 as follows.
[cshaji@circulation dataver5]$ ferret
NOAA/PMEL TMAP
FERRET v6.64
Linux(gfortran) 2.6.9-89.0.20.ELsmp - 09/16/10
24-Nov-10 13:14
yes? use "/work/data/sst/dataver5/198501.s04m1pfv50-bsst-16b.hdf"
**netCDF error
Attempt to use feature that was not turned on when netCDF was built. (OPeNDAP/netCDF Error code -128)
Data set: /work/data/sst/dataver5/198501.s04m1pfv50-bsst-16b.hdf
Perhaps this can this be a problem with the hdf data file itself while its creation? If so, any way to fix it?
Please give me a reply.
Best regards,
Shaji
