Dimensions are used to define the shape of data in netCDF.
Dimensions are used to define the shape of data in netCDF.
Dimensions for a netCDF dataset are defined when it is created, while
the netCDF dataset is in define mode. Additional dimensions may be
added later by reentering define mode. A netCDF dimension has a name
and a length. In a netCDF classic or 64-bit offset file, at most one
dimension can have the unlimited length, which means variables using
this dimension can grow along this dimension. In a netCDF-4 file
multiple unlimited dimensions are supported.

this dimension can grow along this dimension. In a netCDF-4 file
multiple unlimited dimensions are supported.
There is a suggested limit (1024) to the number of dimensions that can
be defined in a single netCDF dataset. The limit is the value of the
predefined macro NC_MAX_DIMS. The purpose of the limit is to make
writing generic applications simpler. They need only provide an array
of NC_MAX_DIMS dimensions to handle any netCDF dataset. The
implementation of the netCDF library does not enforce this advisory
maximum, so it is possible to use more dimensions, if necessary, but
netCDF utilities that assume the advisory maximums may not be able to
handle the resulting netCDF datasets.

NC_MAX_VAR_DIMS, which must not exceed NC_MAX_DIMS, is the maximum
number of dimensions that can be used to specify the shape of a single
variable. It is also intended to simplify writing generic
applications.

Ordinarily, the name and length of a dimension are fixed when the
dimension is first defined. The name may be changed later, but the
length of a dimension (other than the unlimited dimension) cannot be
changed without copying all the data to a new netCDF dataset with a
redefined dimension length.

Dimension lengths in the C interface are type size_t rather than type
int to make it possible to access all the data in a netCDF dataset on
a platform that only supports a 16-bit int data type, for example
MSDOS. If dimension lengths were type int instead, it would not be
possible to access data from variables with a dimension length greater
than a 16-bit int can accommodate.

A netCDF dimension in an open netCDF dataset is referred to by a small
integer called a dimension ID. In the C interface, dimension IDs are
0, 1, 2, ..., in the order in which the dimensions were defined.
