header with metadata:
1. list of dimensions (name and length),
2. list of variables (name, type and dimension(s)) for which data are stored in the file,
3. attributes related to variables (long_name, units etc.), and
4. global attributes (title, history etc.).
Remark: the names of attributes as well as standard variable names should be chosen according to the following given conventions:
- NetCDF Climate and Forecast (CF) Metadata Convention, and
- CF Standard Name Table.
data for all variables stored in the file:
1. coordinate-variable data,
2. data for ordinary variables, for which only one data record is stored in the file, and finally
3. data for record-variables (which have one unlimited dimension, e.g. time), which can be stored several times.
