Hi James,
>> Is there no way to delete a dimension, a variable or a data element from
>> a netCDF database?
In case you don't know about NCO, most of the NCO operators will
delete variables from existing netCDF files with, e.g.,
ncks -x -v var1,var2 in.nc out.nc
When all the variables containing a given dimension have been deleted,
the above command automatically deletes the dimension as well.
See http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/cms/nco for more details.
