Hi Jeff,

I routinely work with MNC output using both MatLAB and the NCO:

  http://nco.sourceforge.net/

suite of command-line tools.  Both work nicely.

And there are some mnc output samples (from the "hs94.cs-32x32x5"
verification run) available at:

  http://mitgcm.org/eh3/MNC/mnc_test_20050921_0001/

and many examples of all sorts of netCDF files at:

  http://ingrid.mit.edu/

But, before downloading any files, are you certain that you have the
"NetCDF Toolbox for MatLAB" (aka mexcdf53 or mexcdf60) or mexcdf
installed?  By default, MatLAB has *no* netCDF support.  You must
install an add-on package in order to use MatLAB for netCDF processing:

  http://mexcdf.sourceforge.net/

and its this toolbox that most of our scripts rely upon.
