+% Tutorial for using ncArray
+
+% It is advised to run this script in an empty directory.
+% It will delete and overwrite files named file1.nc, file2.nc and file3.nc.
+
+% size of the example data (2x3)
+
+n = 3;
+m = 2;
+
+% create 3 files (file1.nc, file2.nc,...) with a 2x3 variable called SST
+data = zeros(n,m);
+
+disp('create example files: file1.nc, file2.nc, file3.nc')
+
+for i = 1:3  
+    data(:) = i;
+    files{i} = sprintf('file%d.nc',i);
+    delete(files{i});
+    ncarray_example_file(files{i},data);
+end
+
+
+% Using ncArray
+
+SST = ncArray('file1.nc','SST');
+
+disp('load the entire file')
+data = SST(:,:,:);
+
+disp('get the attribute units')
+units = SST.units;
+
+
+disp('load a particular value');
+data = SST(3,2,1);
+
+% Using ncCatArray
+
+disp('concatenate the files over the 3rd dimension (here time)')
+
+SST = ncCatArray(3,{'file1.nc','file2.nc','file3.nc'},'SST');
+
+% or just 
+% SST = ncCatArray(3,'file*.nc','SST');
+
+disp('load all 3 files');
+data = SST(:,:,:);
+
+disp('load a particular value (1,2,1) of the 3rd file');
+data = SST(1,2,3);
