    Just to close this thread, I can confirm that this is not an error
    written by Ferret or PyFerret code, but seems to have come from the
    netCDF library. That doesn't tell us whether it's an issue within
    netCDF, or whether the netCDF code has run into something wrong with
    the file.

Hi,

It actually looks as if it is a problem with a corrupt file  or possibly an internal netCDF error. There's a few issues in the netCDF github repository mentioning this error.

e.g.

https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/481

Supposedly fixed but who knows. What OS and version of Ferret are you using?

Aborted (core dumped)

The "Assertion" error and "Aborted" indicate that this is an error internal to Ferret(*footnote*).  Only the developers of Ferret can fix it.

I guess the best way to address this (Correct me if I'm wrong) is to submit an "issue" at

https://github.com/NOAA-PMEL/Ferret

Having said that, the error you show seems to suggest that there is something wrong with your netCDF file.  On the command line (terminal), what do you get from

ncdump -h  9071_ionPrf.nc

?

(*footnote*) The assertion is failing actually in the code of the netCDF library:
