Marta,

GDALs netCDF support currently only support files that are produced by GMT. 
You didn't attach the file in question, so I can't verify if that is the issue
or not.  

I have modified the netCDF reader now to issue a warning if given a netCDF file
that doesn't have the expected GMT format.

[marta.benito@…]

netcdf file for testing if is generated by GMT

[marta.benito@…]

Thanks for your answer and I have just send you the file 

thanks again 

marta

I have confirmed this is a non-GMT netCDF file.

BTW, I can convert this to GeoTIFF or some other format for you if you wish.
I am able to read it in GDAL via the OPeNDAP connector.

Thanks a lot I will try to do something similar, because I have a lot of maps, 

regards 

marta
