Dear Claus,
we have developed a data structure (icg-data-struct).
This structure is used for several of our routines for input and ouput.
We have read and write netCDF routines for this structure. In addition
several correlate, synchronize and plot routines handling data of this
structure are available in our library.
http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg1/idl_icglib/idl_lib_intro.h tml
please look at icg_ts_sync, read_ncdf, write_ncdf, icgs_correlate and
the examples by plotxy
and plot2d and so on
http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg1/idl_icglib/idl_source/idl_ html/dbase/download/read_ncdf.tar.gz
http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg1/idl_icglib/idl_source/idl_ html/dbase/download/write_ncdf.tar.gz
http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg1/idl_icglib/idl_source/idl_ html/dbase/download/icg_ts_sync.tar.gz
http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg1/idl_icglib/idl_source/idl_ html/dbase/download/icgs_correlate.tar.gz
f_names is a function which reads the short_names from a netCDF File
http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg1/idl_icglib/idl_source/idl_ html/dbase/download/f_names.tar.gz
and for further routines and licensing please have a look at
http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg1/idl_icglib/idl_lib_intro.h tml
The data structure itselfs is with a lot of examples described in
details in
my publication:
http://www.fz-juelich.de/zb/text/publikation/juel3786.html
hope this helps a bit
