[netCDF #NUC-119714]: struggling with writing data to nc file

Laurens,

In order to understand what your code is intended to do, we will need 
for you to send the output from running the following command:

  ncdump -h /data/ganzevl/inputdata/emissions/EDGARV3.2/co_2000.nc

I suspect there might be a confusion of Fortran array order (first
index varying fastest) with C and CDL array order (last index varying
fastest).

Also, since you are only using the netCDF-3 F77 functions, it might be
easier and less confusing for you to look at the older documentation for 
that version of the F77 library, which is here (in HTML, or PDF, or 
ASCII):

  
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/old_docs/docs_3_6_3/netcdf-f77.html
  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/old_docs/docs_3_6_3/netcdf-f77.pdf
  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/old_docs/docs_3_6_3/netcdf-f77.txt

That's the documentation I'll refer to in discussing how to use nf_get_vara_real
from:

  
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/old_docs/docs_3_6_3/netcdf-f77.html#NF_005fGET_005fVARA_005f-type

for example.
