Alternate Message(s)

WARNING 10204 - Error invoking <netcdf_command>. Netcdf status value is <netcdf_status_code>. <netcdf_error_message>.

Description

A netCDF library call returned an error during model initialisation or runtime. The netCDF command that failed and the error description are shown in the message.

Suggestions

Check the netCDF command and error description. The command name indicates the operation that failed. For example nf90_open indicates a file could not be opened and nf90_create indicates an output file could not be created.

If the status code shown is positive it is a system level error number (errno). If it is negative it is a netCDF specific error code. Common causes include an incorrect file path, a file that is not a valid netCDF file, insufficient disk space when writing output and file permission issues.

For system errno values refer to the POSIX errno reference (Linux) or the Windows CRT errno constants (Windows). For netCDF specific error codes refer to the netCDF-C error documentation.
