Hi Ghansham,

In an aggregation, a "template" dataset is selected and its metadata is used to 
populate the metadata for the resulting aggregated dataset. You have some 
control over which dataset is selected as the template [1].

NetCDF-Java does not attempt to resolve any differences in metadata among the 
aggregation elements. We strongly recommend that metadata are homogenous [2].

Cheers,
Christian
