I've downloaded binned daily MODIS chlorophyll A data from https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/MODIS-Aqua/Binned/Daily/CHL/2014/ (you might need to sign in) as NetCDF files and I'm trying to open them in ArcGIS Pro (2.7.3). When using the Add Multidimensional Raster Layer I get the Failed to import variables from one or more datasets -error message.
When I run a file through NetCDFFileProperties I don't get any results with getDimensions () or getVariables (), but the getAttributeNames () gives me the following results:

I've read about the software not being able to read certain attribute names as variables, or the data being stored in an irregular grid, but I haven't been able to figure out how to open and work with this data. This has also happened with other oceanographic data I have tried to download (eg. University of Hamburg datasets) so I believe it's me rather than the data. Any ideas? Thank you!
