http://thredds.ucar.edu/thredds/fileServer/grib/NCEP/GFS/Alaska_191km/files/GFS_Alaska_191km_20130416_0600.grib1 If file ends with ".Z", ".zip", ".gzip", ".gz", or ".bz2", it will uncompress/unzip and write to new file without the suffix, then use the uncompressed file. It will look for the uncompressed file before it does any of that. Generally it prefers to place the uncompressed file in the same directory as the original file. If it does not have write permission on that directory, it will use the directory defined by ucar.nc2.util.DiskCache class.

buffer_size - RandomAccessFile buffer size, if <= 0, use default size

cancelTask - allow task to be cancelled; may be null.

iospMessage - special iosp tweaking (sent before open is called), may be null

Returns:

NetcdfFile object, or null if cant find IOServiceProver

Throws:

IOException - if error
