I have not worked with the VB netcdf wrapper myself but i did work a bit
with netcdf and with vb.
from what i see th vb wrapper uses the C function names. and what you want
to do is add two *attributes* to your variables
one called longname and one units
you would end up using:
something like:
stat = nc_put_att_text(sr_ncid, lat_id, "long_name", 8, "Latitude");
you could look at the attributes functions documentation
