Hello,

I was trying to use xarray to access the MERRA-2 monthly dataset. This dataset provides nc4 files, one for each month, with multiple analyzed variables (U,V,T, etc.,) in each file.

if I open one file and try to access the zonal wind (U) as

python data = xarray.open_dataset('/data/MERRA2/MERRA2_100.instM_3d_ana_Np.198001.nc4') data = data.U

This works just fine.

However, if I use

python data = data.T

I get back the entire dataset, i.e, I then have data.T.T, and data.T.T.T etc., I can open a single file using netCDF4, and the values seem ok.

This seems to happen only with the temperature (T) field. all other fields seem to behave ok.

Any ideas as to what is happening?

TIA, Joy
