We have written a public domain "meta" layer over the top of netCDF which
provides a higher level programming interface, called MeRAF. The MeRAF
system allows for structured and triangular unstructured 2D and 3D meshes,
as well as discrete point data, line data, and particle data. There are
calls to let you query all the attributes of a data set. Check it out at:
