Hello~

I need to write a portion of data to a netCDF file after every timestep. The
code that I write is like this:

real data(Ncols,Nrows,Nlays,Nspecies)
integer :: start(5),count(5)

do it = 1,tstep
  do is = 7,Nspecies
      count = (/NCOLS, NROWS, NLAYS, 1, 1/)
      start = (/ 1, 1, 1, 1, it/)

         call nc_check(nf90_put_var( &
                    chk_ncid,  &
                    nc_data_varid,  &
                    data(:,:,:,is),  &
                    start=start,  &
                    count=count  ) )
  end do
end do

I was just wondering how should I set "count", is "count = (/NCOLS, NROWS,
NLAYS, 1, 1/)" okay or not? especially the last two entries, can I set them
both as "1"?

Thank you!
