gdal - Converting netCDF to geotiff file?

NetCDF files downloaded from

could not be converted to geotiff using gdaltranslate command below:

 gdal_translate -ot float32 -unscale -CO COMPRESS=deflate NETCDF:"A2006001170000.L2_LAC_OC.x.nc":chlor_a fulldisk.tif

The error message is the following:

Warning 1: NetCDF driver detected file type=5, but libnetcdf detected type=3
Warning 1: NETCDF:A2006001170000.L2_LAC_OC.x.nc:chlor_a is a netCDF file, but chlor_a is not a variable.

ERROR 4: `NETCDF:A2006001170000.L2_LAC_OC.x.nc:chlor_a' does not exist in the file system, and is not recognized as a supported dataset name.

I got the NetCDF file from NASA ocean color website.

Is there any way of fixing the issue?

Answer

Try

gdal_translate -ot float32 -unscale -CO COMPRESS=deflate HDF5:"A2006001170000.L2_LAC_OC.nc"://geophysical_data/chlor_a fulldisk.tif
