The netCDF CF reader in ParaView does support time dimensions. For example, the 
netCDF file tos_O1_2001-2002.nc used for VTK testing 
(https://midas3.kitware.com/midas/item/206312) has a time dimension and it 
loads just fine.

As I recall, the CF convention defines the time dimension using a units 
property on the variable that specifies some unit of time. One problem that has 
occurred in the past is that sometimes the time unit is something that the 
reader does not recognize as time. What is the time units used in your data set?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] Time Variables in CF Conventions

I am trying to read a CF Conventions NetCDF file  (Sea Surface Temperature from 
NOAA).
The CF reader in ParaView recognizes the axes and the data correctly.  However, 
it does not seem to recognize the TIME dimension.

Is anyone here reading CF (Climate Forecasting) files successfully?
