allows you to easily access atrributes and variables from a netcdf file.
And can also convert the netcdf dates to datenums.

Example1:
o=netcdfobj('e:\meanstationpressure.cdf');
o.vars
pressure=o.vars.pressure.value;

EXAMPLE2:
n=netcdfobj('ice5g_v1.2_21.0k_1deg.nc');
>> n.vars
lat
bounds_lat
long
bounds_long
orog
sftgit
sftgif
>> n.vars.lat.atts
bounds: bounds_lat
standard_name: latitude
units: degrees_north
axis: Y
>> lat=n.vars.lat.value;
>> imagesc(n.vars.long.value,lat,n.vars.orog.value')
>> axis xy
