Hi Akua,
I had a similar problem and ended up writing my own little module (in C)
which queries the netCDF file to find the variable names and length of
unlimited dimension. If you are interested I can send you the code. It's
quite specific to my file structure and set of variables. I also have
vector data and handle these case by case. I am sure you could also do
this much easier in Python. I haven't figured out yey how to use dx with
python.
hope that helps
cheers
magi
