QGIS » QGIS Application

Several versions of qgis on several platforms (Fedora Core 19, Ubuntu 14.04, Mac OS Mavericks) segfault and bomb when I try to read a certain type of gridded NetCDF data with them. Of all the systems I have access to, only QGIS 1.8 on Centos 6.3 is able to load this grid without bombing.

Example: http://www.nohrsc.noaa.gov/snowfall/data/201505/snfl_2014093012_to_2015050112.nc

This is one example of many where a CF compliant NetCDF file with a moderately large grid (1500x850 in this example) breaks QGIS for me. It may or may not be relevant, but one warning I see on occasion with these files if I run QGIS from a terminal is this:

Warning 1: No UNIDATA NC_GLOBAL:Conventions attribute

However, that warning is not correct. Here is a portion of the "ncdump -h" output for this file:

// global attributes:
        string :format_version = "NOHRSC NetCDF raster file v1.2" ;
        string :Conventions = "CF-1.6" ;
