Hi Dimm:

Is this in the context of using the IDV or as a standalone library?

You need  to 1) write netcdf files in some special format, and 2) write 
an adapter that reads them and implements a PointObsDataset interface. 
We are working on a reccomended file format, where the adapter will 
already be written.

You can see the code in ucar.nc2.dt.point as examples. Its all very new, 
so not much documentation yet.
