Hi Vinit,

My suggestion would be to run your model on both computers A and B in
a debugger, or insert print statements to try to isolate where
computer A starts getting different results than computer B.  That may
help to determine where the difference is coming from.

Also, print out the variable names before using them in NCVDEF calls, to
see which variable name is causing the problem.  It may have nothing to do
with netCDF, but instead be caused by an out-of-range array index causing
the contents of a variable name to be overwritten by a number, for example.

If you have a Fortran option to check all array indices to make sure they
are within declaration bounds, try using that to see if an errant array
index is the root cause of the problem.

I know this is very general advice, but without a more specific description
of the problem in a way we can reproduce, it's hard to offer better
suggestions.
