Problem opening NetCDF file

Hello everyone

I have downloaded hourly data from 200-2005 for wind speeds (two components vertical and horizontal) for a very specific geographical space from “Copernicus”. My data hold a NetCDF format with an ending “.nc”. My file is very small (2.1 mb). Anyone willing to help can get my file "WS.nc" from the attachements.

I have big problem trying to open my file in MATLAB. Anything I tried doesn’t seem to work. I have tried the following:

 vardata = ncread('WS.nc');

And I get:

 Error using netcdflib
 Unable to perform requested action. Filename contains unsupported characters.
 
 Error in netcdf.open (line 67)
 [varargout{:}] = netcdflib ( 'open', filename, varargin{1} );
 
 Error in internal.matlab.imagesci.nc/openToRead (line 1278)
 this.ncRootid = netcdf.open(this.Filename,'NOWRITE');
 
 Error in internal.matlab.imagesci.nc (line 121)
 this.openToRead();
 
 Error in ncread (line 61)
 ncObj   = internal.matlab.imagesci.nc(ncFile);
 
 Error in Loading_Data (line 9)
 vardata = ncread('WS.nc');

Have also tried:

 ncdisp('WS.nc');

And I get

 Error using netcdflib
 Unable to perform requested action. Filename contains unsupported characters.
 
 Error in netcdf.open (line 67)
 [varargout{:}] = netcdflib ( 'open', filename, varargin{1} );
 
 Error in internal.matlab.imagesci.nc/openToRead (line 1278)
 this.ncRootid = netcdf.open(this.Filename,'NOWRITE');
 
 Error in internal.matlab.imagesci.nc (line 121)
 this.openToRead();
 
 Error in ncdisp (line 62)
 ncObj   = internal.matlab.imagesci.nc(ncFile);
 
 Error in Loading_Data (line 10)
 ncdisp('WS.nc');

Am I doing something wrong, or my file is broken?

I don't know how you get any error at all. All the code is commented out except where you assign a string variable.

If you have any more questions, then attach your data (zipped up) and code to read it in with the paperclip icon after you read this:

Worked fine for me

>> a = ncinfo('C:/Users/mille/Desktop/WS.nc')

a = 

  struct with fields:

      Filename: 'C:\Users\mille\Desktop\WS.nc'
          Name: '/'
    Dimensions: [1×3 struct]
     Variables: [1×5 struct]
    Attributes: [1×2 struct]
        Groups: []
        Format: '64bit'
