> Description of problem: I originally asked Mike Barth for help (attachment
1).  He said he couldn't help me, but he did confirm that there were no errors
in the dimensionality of the two netCDF files in question (attachments 2 and
3).

Your Perl script contained the following:

14   NetCDF::varinq($ncid,$varcount,$varname,$type,$dims,\@dimids,$atts);
...
29   if($varname eq "dataPlatformType" || $varname eq "cloudBaseHeight")
30   {
31     for ($recs=0;$recs<$nrec;$recs++)
32     {
33       NetCDF::diminq($ncid,$dimids[1],$dimname,$dimsize);
...

The variables "dataPlatformType" and "cloudBaseHeight" are one-dimensional;
therefore, the "diminq" call above using "$dimids[1]" doesn't make sense
because the @dimids array should only have one element.

Steve Emmerson
