lat=data_specific{'latitude'}(:);
lon1=data_specific{'longitude'}(:);
time=data_specific{'time'}(:);

>> lat=data_specific{'latitude'}(:);

Brace indexing is not supported for variables of this type. I found this type of error

[Walter Roberson]

  data_specific=netcdf.open(fullFileName);
  %...
  lat=data_specific{'latitude'}(:);

data_specific will be an ncid (netcdf identifier -- an integer)

There is no documented syntax for using {} indexing of an ncid.

You have to use things such as netcdf.getvar()
