% function [] = ladcp2cdf(fname,dr_struct,da,p,ps,f,att);
%
% function to save LADCP data into a netcdf file for MatLab version 2012a
%
% input  :	fname		- output filename
%			dr_struct	- main inversion results (velocity profiles)
%			da,p,ps,f,att - arbitrary metadata structures
%
% Subroutine :  add_struct

% Description:  Based on LDEO software to Process LADCP, version IX.8,
%               script ladcp2cdf.m version 0.1	last change 08.03.2002. 
%               maintained by A.M. Thurnherr and downloaded from:
%       http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/ladcp-cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi
%       The function ladcp2cdf was changed to run with the the Matlab
%       version 2012, which now supports netcdf.

% NOTES:
%	- This version creates slightly different files than the original version
%	  created by Visbeck/Krahmann. In the original version, the contents of the
%	  dr structure end up as top-level variables and the contents of
%	  the da, p, ps, f and att structures end of as global attributes. In 
%	  the new version, the latter are saved as sub-structures, with _struct appended
%	  to the internal names to avoid conflicts.

% HISTORY:
%   Aug 15, 2013: - incorporated this code, supplied Diana Cardoso, into IX_10beta
%		  - modified doc in header
%		  - renamded struct variable to dr_struct
%		  - removed 'cd' in and out of results directory (pathnames work just fine)
%		  - delete netcdfile before it is written to (old 'clobber' option)
%		  - removed 'l' suffix from all dims
%		  - replaced yes/no logical vals by true/false
%		  - renamed substructures from st2..st6 to internal names (da,p,ps,f,att)
%   Aug 28, 2013: - incorporated bug fix provided by Diana Cardoso to prevent lat,lon,name and 
%		    date to be stored 2cd in the nc file, which can make the code
%		    bomb if the length of any other var is 6 (or equal to the length of name?)
%   Nov     2015: - new coded provided by Diana Cardoso (with support from Eric Firing)
%   Nov 26, 2015: - BUG: code did not work when bottom-track data were missing
