which adds a string-valued attribute. You probably want to create an integer valued attribute, since rh is an integer. 

normally you could go:

  ncfile.addVariableAttribute("rh", "valid_range", new Integer(0) );
but since you need an array, its more convoluted:
ArrayInt.D1 valid_range = new ArrayInt.D1(2); // create a 1-d integer array of length 
   valid_range.set(0, 0);  // set the firsst element
   valid_range.set(1,100);  // set the second element
   ncfile.addVariableAttribute("rh", "valid_range", valid_range);
Thank you for your quick response and for your patient explanation, John! 

Guess I could also use:
ncfile.addVariableAttribute( "rh", "valid_range", Array.factory(new double[] {0d, 100d}) ); 

Seems to work... Izzat okay?

yep, that will also work
