Hi Han:

Ok, let me understand what you have before I comment on whether it fits in:


netcdf OS_NTAS-2009_T_R {
dimensions:
   time = UNLIMITED ; // (3033 currently)
   depth = 5 ;
   latitude = 1 ;
   longitude = 1 ;
variables:
  float time(time) ;
       time:axis = "T" ;
   float depth(depth) ;
       depth:axis = "Z" ;
   float latitude(latitude) ;
       latitude:axis = "Y" ;
   float longitude(longitude) ;
       longitude:axis = "X" ;
   float STMP(time, depth,latitude,longitude) ;
       STMP:standard_name = "sea_water_temperature" ;
   short INST_SN(depth) ;
       INST_SN:long_name = "instrument_serial_number" ;

It looks like you have a single moored buoy in this file.

The 1D lat, lon I think are clearer as scalars :

  float latitude ;
      latitude:axis = "Y" ;
  float longitude ;
      longitude:axis = "X" ;

 float time(time) ;
      time:axis = "T" ;

  float depth(depth) ;
      depth:axis = "Z" ;

  float STMP(time, depth) ;
      STMP:standard_name = "sea_water_temperature" ;

  short INST_SN(depth) ;
INST_SN:long_name = "instrument_serial_number" ;
So it appears that you have the same depth coordinate for each measurement, and 
some data which is independent of the time, but z dependent. Am I missing 
anything?
