The error message you are seeing comes from addfile() and/or addfiles() --
it is telling you that it does not recognize the file type you're trying
to open. If you look at the documentation at:
http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ngdoc/ng/ref/ncl/functions/addfile.html
http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ngdoc/ng/ref/ncl/functions/addfiles.html
you'll note that in the "Description" section, there is a link to the
supported file formats for NCL:
http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ngdoc/ng/ref/ncl/NclFormatSupport.html
The supported formats are denoted by the extension of the filename, e.g.
netCDF .nc .cdf
CCM .ccm
GRIB .grb (.GRB, .grib and .GRIB are also allowed)
HDF .hdf
HDF-EOS .hdfeos
Without some sort of "tag" associated with your file, NCL does not have
any idea as to how to start reading the file, and how to understand its
native format. The filename extension gives NCL this needed "hint."
Renaming your file from /data/pgb.f0002073012 to something like
/data/pgb.f0002073012.grb will solve your problem. Your NCL code would
then look something like:
myFile = addfile("/data/pgb.f0002073012.grb", "r")
