My memory is shaking on this topic, but I thought it
was not possible to add a variable to a netCDF file.
Although I seem to remember some provision
for this in the latest version of netCDF. My memory
is so fuzzy, I have no confidence in it, but I recall
this being an issue with *some* version of the scientific
data sets.

Cheers,

David
