This appears to be a ​known and resolved issue with NCO 4.7.7 with netCDF 4.6.2:

Discussion at above link suggests it is fixed with NCO 4.7.8 and later.

Therefore, a suggested potential fix to this ticket is version bump of NCO to 4.78 or later (latest stable release as of this post is NCO 4.7.9)

For me, a workaround was to activate netcdf 4.6.1

sudo port activate netcdf@4.6.1

If you no longer have that installed, you could try to install that manually: ​https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/InstallingOlderPort
