Here's a little test class that does this:


    import visad.Data;
    import visad.data.netcdf.Plain;
    public class InOut
    {
        public static void main(String[] args)
            throws Exception
        {
            Plain       plain = new Plain();
            Data        input = plain.open("1.nc");
            System.out.println("input = " + input);
            plain.save("2.nc", input, true);
        }
    }

I ran it on the netCDF file correspoding to the following CDL file:

    netcdf 1 {
        dimensions:
            Time = 3;
        variables:
            float Temp(Time);
            float Humidity(Time);
        data:
            Temp = 5, 6, 7;
            Humidity = 4, 5, 8;
    }

It generated the following output:

    input = FlatField
        FunctionType (Real): (Time) -> (Temp, Humidity)
    (5.0, 4.0), (6.0, 5.0), (7.0, 8.0)

and reproduced the input, netCDF file.
