@Rakesh I have the file and I need more time to look further into this. The thing that stands out to me right now is that the dimension ordering of your coordinate variables doesn’t follow the netCDF standard of time, Z, Y, X. Your MethaneVF variable does though. Reordering the coordinate variable dimensions might fix the problem. More info soon.
