Not able to access files from MONARCH thredds server (earth.bsc.es)

[Bas Reijmerink]

Dear sir/madam,

 

I’m currently trying to access data from the dataset below through OpenDAP using either Matlab or Python.

 

https://earth.bsc.es/thredds_dustclim/catalog/monarch-dustclim/3hourly/concdubin8-av_an/catalog.html?dataset=monarch-dustclim/3hourly/concdubin8-av_an

 

However, I fail to access the data, also after setting the .netrc and .dodsrc files in my C:\Users\reijmeri\ folder. I get the following errors:
Matlab: The NetCDF library encountered an error during execution of 'open' function - 'Access failure (-77)'.
Python: [Errno -77] NetCDF: Access failure: 'https://earth.bsc.es/thredds_dustclim/dodsC/monarch-dustclim/3hourly/concdubin8-av_an/concdubin8_2007010103_av_an.nc'

 

The .netrc and .dodsrc files have the following content

 

.netrc content:

 

machine earth.bsc.es

login USERNAME*

password PASSWORD*

* these are replaced by my credentials.

 

.dodsrc content:

 

HTTP.NETRC=C:\Users\reijmeri\.netrc  

HTTP.COOKIEJAR=C:\Users\reijmeri\.dap_cookies  # writable file for login cookies

 

Both Matlab and Python are able to find the .netrc and .dodsrc files, but no luck when accessing the data.

 

Do you by chance have an idea what might go wrong here?

 

p.s. I can access the data via HTTPServer in Matlab (using the credentials), but I rather only collect a subset of the data rather than downloading each complete file.

 

Many thanks in advance for your support.

 

With kind regards,
