SIMPLE_XY_WRITE writes data to a NETCDF file. The data is a simple two-dimensional array.

• simple_xy_write.m, the program;
• simple_xy.nc, the NETCDF file created by the program.
• simple_xy.cdl, the CDL text file version of the NETCDF file.

SIMPLE_XY_READ reads data from a NETCDF file.

• simple_xy_read.m, the program;
• simple_xy.nc, the NETCDF file to be read.

SFC_PRES_TEMP_WRITE writes data to a NETCDF file. The data will include units attributes and coordinate dimensions.

• sfc_pres_temp_write.m, the program;

• sfc_pres_temp_read.m, the program;
• sfc_pres_temp.nc, the NETCDF file to be read.

PRES_TEMP_4D_WRITE writes data to a NETCDF file. The data will be four-dimensional and use a record dimension.

• pres_temp_4D_write.m, the program;
• pres_temp_4D.nc, the NETCDF file created by the program.
• pres_temp_4D.cdl, the CDL text file version of the NETCDF file.
