supports the importation of data in netCDF format, a data abstraction 
for self-describing multidimensional Arrays. It represents a simpler data model than 
that of Data Explorer, one similar to that of the Array 
Object. Data are accessed in netCDF through an application programming interface 
(available in C and FORTRAN libraries from the Unidata Program Center--in 
Boulder, Colorado). #!N #!N Scalar data on a regular grid can 
be imported from a standard netCDF file. To import vector data, 
data on irregular grids, or time series data, additional attributes must 
be added to the netCDF file. These attributes allow you to 
specify the data, positions, and connections components of your data set. 
See  #!Lape,dxall668 h netCDF Files: Complex Fields  #!EL  for more information about these attributes. #!N #!N #!N
