Sorry, but I don't speak matlab. And I was not aware that matlab supports 
netCDF 4.0 yet - does it?

Getting an error on close often means that you have defined variables that are 
too large for the default netCDF storage format, netCDF classic. Are you sure 
that the variable you are defining is of the size that you expect? If it is 
over 2GB in size, you must use another netCDF format to store the data, and I 
don't know how this would be done in matlab (but it would be done when the file 
is first created).

I hope this helps...

Thanks,

Ed
