<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Quick follow-up - Just tried importing one of these problematic layers into stand-alone SAGA (version 2.1.3, x64), which worked.

I'm able to load netCDFs of some layers (in particular 'gypsum', 'CaCO3', and 'Total Carbon') without issue (using QGIS 2.8 - both import raster and via the netCDF viewer plugin).

Also, gdalinfo returns the following error: <br>
<p>ERROR 4: `SAND1.nc' not recognised as a supported
file format.</p>
<br></div>I am able to read these data using R - most simply, using the 'raster' package (sample code below), and I can also get the info using ncdf and ncdf4 packages:<br></div>library(raster)<br></div><div>brk <- brick("[file <a href="http://name.nc" target="_blank">name.nc</a>]", varname="[variablename]")<br></div><div>#Can plot using<br></div><div>plot(brk) #plots all 4 layers from netcdf<br></div><div>plot(brk[[1]]) #Plots only first layer from netcdf<br></div><div><br></div>But, I'm trying to do this in QGIS or via gdal utilities for speed - R is slow for this (may be ways to speed it up, but haven't toyed with it much).<br><br></div>I'd appreciate any ideas on what might be contributing to these issues - thanks in advance for any input!<br><br></div>Mike<br></div>
