[netCDFJava #KWA-143788]: query related to point datasets and GEOS Projection

Ghansham,

If I understand your first query correctly, you have data from three sources 
that perhaps nearly, but don't quite, line up in space and time.  It is 
certainly possible to assign dimenions lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2, lat3, lon3 in 
netCDF to describe the datasets.  Alternatively, if you are using netcdf4, you 
can use the same names (lat and lon) for dimensions in three different groups.  
I'm not sure what you mean when you say that netcdf-java only picks up one of 
the datasets.

The best answer on how to package your data is to suggest looking at it from 
the perspective of the end user or application, as ultimately, this is what 
matters most.  For instance, you could fudge the three dataset grids into an 
average and report only one lat/lon grid, or you could trust the end user to 
interpret the three grids appropriately.

As to your second query, can you clarify what you need or are trying to do?
