Hello,
I'm trying to aggregate a set on Netcdf files and have run into a 
problem. The dimension I am trying to aggregate over is called datum, 
but there is no datum variable, just a number of variables with 
dimension datum. So I get an error like:
no coordinate variable for agg dimension= datum
My understanding is that I can create a variable datum using NCML in 
this way:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
         <netcdf 
xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2">
         <variable name="datum" shape="datum" type="int">
            <values start="0" increment="1" />
        </variable>
        <aggregation dimName="datum" type="joinExisting" 
recheckEvery="15 min">
               <scan location="." suffix=".nc" />
         </aggregation>
 </netcdf>
But I continue to get the same error, as if no new variable is created.  
Perhaps I am unable to use this method with the scan object? Or must the 
dimension and variable be called "time".
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Eli
