The COARDS standards can provide endless hours of
fun as you argue with your colleagues about what
they actually *mean*, but they do have to be followed,
apparently.

One of the standards has to do with the Order of Dimensions,
which apparently is Time, Latitude, Longitude. I can't test
this, because I don't have the data, but it seems to me
your variable dimensions are [lon,lat]. You might check
to see if that is causing a problem.

Cheers,

David
