Ah, yes. The latter is what I meant.

Yup, my diagnosis is correct. np.squeeze() is interpreting swh as a
scalar (or rank 0 array) with dtype=object rather than an array. You
will have to get a real ndarray from the Variable. I am not familiar
with the netcdf4 API, so you will have to refer to its documentation
on how to do that. It won't be as simple as np.asarray(swh), I am
afraid.
