Could you help me solve this?

Hi, You can try to redownload te TPXO7 from the croco download page.

There was a problem with the old database I think, this is what it says on the page: “[ 03/09/2024 updated version : add units attribute ]”. I had this same problem and updating the netcdf worked for me.
