/* This is part of the netCDF package.

   This example writes some surface pressure and temperatures. It is
   intended to illustrate the use of the netCDF C++ API. The companion
   program sfc_pres_temp_rd.cpp shows how to read the netCDF data file
   created by this program.
   
   This program is part of the netCDF tutorial:
   http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-tutorial

   Full documentation of the netCDF C++ API can be found at:
