Hi Stephan,

Good, congratulations!

I'm not usre I understand the question, but maybe you just want to define a 
third
coordinate variable, level, to provide the altitudes corresponding to each level
dimension index.  In that case, just follow the pattern for latVar and lonVar:

  // Define the level coordinate variable for altitudes
  NcVar *levelVar;
  if (!(levelVar = dataFile.add_var("level", ncFloat, lvlDim)))

  // Define the units attribute for the level coordinate variable.
  if (!levelVar->add_att("units", "meters"))
      return NC_ERR;

  // Write the level coordinate variable data to the file.
  float levels[NLVL];
  for (int lvl = 0; lvl < NLVL; lvl++)
     levels[lvl] = 100.0 * lvl;  // for 0 meters, 100 meters, ...
  if (!levelVar->put(levels, NLVL))
      return NC_ERR;
