Hi Janine-

I'm going to forward this to the netCDF gurus who might have
an answer, because I don't.

Don,

I've got what I believe to be a good, complete NetCDF file for the JOSS
point data, but I would appreciate it if you could take a look and let me 
know if you see anything amiss.  I have attached the header below.
1. time seems to correspond to NominalTime ? is it important to also identify actual time ? is granularity of one minute adequate? 

2. "feet * 100" should be "100 feet"
3. :_dataType = "station" should be :cdm_datatype = "station" (i assume you got this from us? weve changed that recently)
4. Weve just published some recommended global attributes that connect to THREDDS at: http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf-java/formats/DataDiscoveryAttConvention.html 

some that are particularly useful are :

 summary : paragraph describing the dataset

 keywords : for digital library searching
lat/lon bounding box: geospatial_lat_max, geospatial_lat_min, geospatial_lon_max, geospatial_lon_min 

 time range: time_coverage_start, time_coverage_end

 unique name : id, naming_authority



The present weather has a string that is 12763 chars (it's the WMO 1988
codes).  I have not determined how to split a line - embedding a newline
does not do the trick.  Do you know how to do that?
try using a \n, that is not a new line char, but the two characters "\" and "n". See the manual at
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf/CDL-Notation-for-Data-Constants.html#CDL-Notation-for-Data-Constants
