Floating-point values are stored in a netCDF file as either big-endian,
32-bit IEEE 754 values or big-endian, 64-bit IEEE 754 values.  These
representations are identical to those of the Java language.  See the
"netCDF File Format Specification" appendix in the netCDF User's Guide
for more information on the netCDF file format.
