Howdy Martin!

That is an excellent question, but I don't know the answer.

Perhaps you could ask it on the netcdf mailing list? I'm sure the problem has 
come up before, and you are right to want to use a worked-out solution, instead 
of coming up with your own.

The mailing list is address@hidden.

Thanks,

Ed
