Visualize Space Time Cube in 2D/3D

Question

So I downloaded a couple of NetCDF files from NOAA.

Now the nc files work fine with tools like the "Merge Multidimensional Rasters" i.e., the tool accepts the input nc files.

However when I try to display the nc data via the "Visualize Space Time Cube in 2D/3D" tool, it throws the following error:

Error 110003 air.sfc.mon.mean.nc is not a valid Space Time Cube.

How can this be fixed in Pro 3.1? Cheers!

Hi Ed - apologies for the tardy response - teaching classes!  So I found this page that explains the error code and a solution.  So question - did you run the Create Space Time Cube GP tool yet?

@Robert_LeClair any clue on as to why the tool is not accepting the NetCDF file even though the same file works fine with the "Merge Multidimensional Raster"

It's not 4D space, it's a warping of 3D space and 1D time. That's a minor distinction, but is visualisable by imagining a video of a 3D object. The time dilation is difficult to conceptualization anyway though.
