Ok, Here is standard way to do this.
I assume that you have an evenly spaced coordinates in
both the lat and lon directions.
First, we define what is called coordinate variables
that map a lat value to an index
and a lon value to an index.
-------------
netcdf Geotiff {
dimensions:
time=UNLIMITED;
rgb = 3;
lon = 4886;
lat = 5462;
variables:
float lat(lat);
float lon(lon);
float image(time, lon, lat, rgb);
}
----------
The idea is that we can use the lat and lon variables to convert
an index to a set of (LAT,LON) coordinates by using the (x,y) such that
lat(x) == LAT and lon(y) == LON.
We then store the image in image(T,x,y,RGB) where T and RGB
are the appropriate time and rgb values.
This may be confusing, so I would suggest you google
"netcdf coordinate variables" and see if you can find a
better description.
