The netCDF User's Guide contains examples of CDL for arrays that contain
many values. Section 2.1.2 is particularly good. It's available at
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/guidec/guidec-7.html#HEADING7-0
Basically, you add dimensions to the CDL and define variables in terms
of the dimensions, e.g.
dimensions:
lat = 5, lon = 10;
variables:
double foo(lat,lon)
foo:long_name ="foo"
foo:units="celsius"
data:
foo = 1, 2, 3, ...;
