makeGroup

With this function a group is created in memory, i.e. not associated with a
netCDF resource on file. This can be used to prepare new CF objects before
writing them to file. Extracting data from a <code>CFVariable</code> into a CFArray
instance will also create a virtual group.

Network Common Data Form ('netCDF') files are widely used for
scientific data. Library-level access in R is provided through packages
'RNetCDF' and 'ncdf4'. Package 'ncdfCF' is built on top of 'RNetCDF' and
makes the data and its attributes available as a set of R6 classes that are
informed by the Climate and Forecasting Metadata Conventions. Access to the
data uses standard R subsetting operators and common function forms.
