Ashwinee, We spent quite a bit more time looking at this file and there are many problems. 0/ The data file says that it is "CF-1.4", but it is not. 1/ The attributes for the Mercator projection are defined are defined globally, but they should be defined with the rcm_map variable which defines the grid mapping. The attached ncml file fixes, at least, the projection problems. 2/ There are no data relating to the variables (e.g., "maximum surface temperature"). In particular the time dimension for the variables are zero. I am able to open the file by pointing to the attached ncml file in the IDV, but I cannot display much on account of problem 2/. But I can render or visualize the some of the 2D fields (e.g., "Domain land/ocean mask"). In summary, the file is not CF compliant even though it claims to, the projection is not defined correctly, and there are no data in the data variables.
