Jonathan, thanks for your answer! My troubles were related to shape and dimensions. I now finally find out that the new approaches of Netcdf 4 are not implemented in the Java API, yet. I now use a record dimension which is unlimited and a limited time dimension. Hope that works, otherwise, I have your address now :-)

Some months ago John Caron, Steve Hankin and I discussed it at length but did not quite manage to finish it, unfortunately. So there isn't a CF convention for it at the moment. > but I have some trouble in writing the data. What kind of trouble?
