ssmi dataset - unknown file format

Hi ncl-talk,

I don't know if there's a bug in the dataset (I'm using SSMI radiaometer
satellite data) or I'm doing something wrong. NCL can handle .hdf format
right?

When I read in the files, and the variable in the file, it says:

fatal:NetCDF: Unknown file format
fatal:Could not open (asi-SSMIS-n6250-20120801-v5.hdf)
fatal:Either file (f) isn't defined or variable (ASI_Ice_Concentration) is
not a variable in the file
fatal:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 13 in file seaice.ncl

Here's the part of the code: (The file and variable both exist - I checked)

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl"

begin

 files = systemfunc("ls asi-SSMIS-n6250-*-v5.hdf")
  do j = 0, dimsizes(files)-1
  fname = files(j)
  f = addfile (fname+".nc", "r")

ic=f->ASI_Ice_Concentration
