Sentinel1 NetCDF file import fails in geoserver

Hi everyone,

have downoaded a Sentinel-1 .nc file from scihub.copernicus.eu but when I import it in geoserver(via NetCDF plugin) the import fails. I have done the following so far:

  1. Tried to import the file directly to geoserver but received the following error in logs:

Could not list layers for this store, an error occurred retrieving them: Failed to create reader from file:s1a-s5-ocn-vv-20190228t185323-20190228t185333-026133-02EA8B-001.nc and hints Hints: REPOSITORY = org.geoserver.catalog.CatalogRepository@6e5ef82e EXECUTOR_SERVICE = java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor@63d7afe[Running, pool size = 0, active threads = 0, queued tasks = 0, completed tasks = 0] System defaults: FORCE_AXIS_ORDER_HONORING = http STYLE_FACTORY = StyleFactoryImpl GRID_COVERAGE_FACTORY = GridCoverageFactory TILE_ENCODING = null FEATURE_FACTORY = org.geotools.feature.LenientFeatureFactoryImpl@1ea80417 LENIENT_DATUM_SHIFT = true FORCE_LONGITUDE_FIRST_AXIS_ORDER = true COMPARISON_TOLERANCE = 1.0E-8 FILTER_FACTORY = FilterFactoryImpl

  1. According to goserver netcdf plugin https://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/extensions/netcdf/netcdf.html

Only georectified, COARDS compliant layers can be stored so I tried converting the layer both with nccopy and snap tool. But the exception remains.

What am I missing? What is the proper way to import sentinel layers in geoserver?
