Description

Dear all,

In the newest versions of QGIS (3.4.1, 3.4.2, ...), adding NETCDF files as raster layers seems to be crashed. After trying to add such file formats, the below message encounters:
Invalid Layer: Raster layer Provider is not valid (provider: gdal, URI: $path-to-netcdf-file)

Any comments would be appreciated.

thanks in advance

Hi, would it be possible to upload an example file? Could be related to #20921

It looks weird. For the attached file as an another NetCDF, it can be loaded without any problem. The file which cannot be loaded is larger than 5 MB and cannot be attached.

This one works fine. I can manage to open it as Mesh layer and browse through the time. You can use google drive or dropbox or other services to upload files larger than 5 mb.

Dear QGIS users, especially dear Saber,

Sorry for the long silence,

Would you please take a look at the NETCDF file below, which seems not to be opened by QGIS?

Many thanks for your previous comments.

I can indeed open the netcdf as a mesh layer in QGIS.

Could you try QGIS master (latest weekly if you are a windows user):

I close this, but feel free to open if you still have problems. And here is the animation of the meshlayer exported using Crayfish plugin:

I am mainly a Linux user and I carry out most of my data analyses by NCAR Command Language (NCL), but this is a Windows issue for me.
I don't have any problem with the NetCDF file format in QGIS 2.18.27. But for the newer versions, it shows some errors relevant to gdal, and cannot open the NETCDF file.

Hi Amirhossein,

Unfortunately, mesh is under active development and if you want the latest version (with faster rendering and lots of performance enhancement), best to upgrade to QGIS master.

You can have 2 versions of QGIS side-by-side in Linux. See https://qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html
