Mary,

Sorta both. wrfout is a netcdf but they did funny things w/ time. It's
a dimension, rather than a variable. We can get around that, I think,
with a little code; I'd done it before and need to find the snippet I
did it with, but SLP isn't a native diagnostic: wrf_user_getvar() helps
that problem a lot. Thanks!

We want to output to a CF-1.0 compliant netCDF, consistent with the
project's goals and objectives. We're already doing this with NCEP NAM
data but the Time variable is, well, a variable and SLP is native in
their GRiB2 files.

What Dennis just sent helps, and I I'm back on-track.

Regards, Gerry
