[RegCNET] Error while reading CMIP5 GFDL-ESM2M rainfall data

[Kanhu Charan Pattnayak]

Dear All,
I downloaded the GFDL-ESM2M rainfall data
(pr_Amon_GFDL-ESM2M_historical_r1i1p1_186101-186512.nc) from the following
website

http://clima-dods.ictp.it/data/d8/cordex/CMIP5/monthly/hist/GFDL-ESM2M/pr_Amon_GFDL-ESM2M_historical_r1i1p1_186101-186512.nc

But I am not able to open this file in grads.
The following errors are coming

ncdump -h pr_Amon_GFDL-ESM2M_historical_r1i1p1_200101-200512.nc
