[netCDFJava #HIP-291542]: Question on NcML aggregation

Li,

Are the times in the data sets unified (i.e., all the same), or are they 
interlaced?  In other words, if you were to set up a single time axis for all 
of the buoys, would the data line up on the axis, or would it be scattered 
around?  If the times are all the same, then you should be able to do a simple 
Union as described here:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/ncml/v2.2/Aggregation.html

Otherwise, you will need to to a JoinNew, wherein you declare a new dimension 
as the aggregation dimension.  This is described on the same page.
