Hi Serg, heres a recent response to the same question:
The netCDF 3 file format doesn't support structures so you can't
currently create/write structures. (You should be able to once netCDF 4
comes out.) What you can do structure-wise with netCDF 3 fils is think
of all the variables that use the record (unlimited) dimension as a
structure. The creation (in the netCDF-java object model, not on file)
of a "record" structure variable is what the addRecordStructure() method
does. So, to use structures in netCDF 3 files, you need to write the
files with an unlimited dimension and when you read the files use the
addRecordStructure().
Here is a recently (or soon to be) released document on structures in
netCDF 3 files:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf-java/formats/RecordsInNetcdf3.html
Hope this helps.
