Hello....

I´m trying to create a NetCDF Variable from CSV data.  As an example, here
is the data I have in the CSV file:

person,year,income,age,sex
1,2001,1300,27,1
1,2002,1600,28,1
1,2003,2000,29,1
2,2001,2000,38,2
2,2002,2300,39,2
2,2003,2400,40,2

After reading the data I have 'person' and 'year' stored in a hash and the
following NetCDF Array:

[[[1300.0 27.0 1.0]
  [1600.0 28.0 1.0]
  [2000.0 29.0 1.0]]

 [[2000.0 38.0 2.0]
  [2300.0 39.0 2.0]
  [2400.0 40.0 2.0]]]

Can I create a Variable from this data without having to write it all to a
NetCDF file?  I didn´t see a Variable constructor for this.  Am I completly
off?

Thanks
