Reading and Animating a NetCDF file of Sea Surface Temperature 1.0

This script will step through the process of readingdata from a NetCDF file.Missing Data, as flagged in the NetCDF file, will bereplaced with a NaN value (Not a Number).Data is read from the file, and saved to the caller'sworkspace. If the NetCDF provides data attributes"scale_factor" and "add_offset" the script will firstscale and then offset the data.For data that is 2 dimensional or higher, this scriptwill rotate it on import so it becomes row-major (theMATLAB default) as apposed to column-major (the NetCDFdefault). For 2D data this is taking the tranpose, for3D or higher data, it is the equivalent of taking thetranspose of each data plane along the third dimension.Data attributes are stored in a structure named withthe same name as the data but ending in "_info".After reading the data, a separate function is called tocreate an animated display of a subset of the data. Itcreates an AVI video file of the animation and saves itin the present directory.NOTE: This is not a general solution for reading all NetCDF files. This is an example based on a single file and works for that file. It likely will not work for other formats.
