It seems that the problem occurs at the necdf4 level already:

``` python
import netCDF4
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
f = '/home/mowglie/Downloads/20100101120000-ESACCI-L4_GHRSST-SSTdepth-OSTIA-GLOB_LT-v02.0-fv01.1.nc'
d = netCDF4.Dataset(f)
v = d['analysed_sst']
v.set_auto_maskandscale(False)
plt.imshow(v[0, ...], origin='lower')
plt.show()
```

To be compared to the equivalent output from [IDL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDL_%28programming_language%29) at the netcdf backend level:

```
IDL> print, min(data), max(data)
     -54.5300      306.440
IDL> print, TIME_to_STR(time)

```

you should fill a report in netcdf4 as @rabernat suggests.
