If you just want to make files that are a subset, you are better off using the NetCDF Operators (nco):
http://nco.sourceforge.net/nco.html#Hyperslabs
You can also specify the indexes or coordinates you want to read when you read the variable in NCL:
smaller_T = file->T(:,{-20:20}, {80:160}) smaller_T = file->T(:,15:40,20:40)

To develop and check my logic, I'd like to work with just a small portion of the grid until I get the details worked out. So how do I select a lat/lon box from a netcdf and write it to a test file? It seems like it should be obvious, but I can't find the relevant example from the examples page or the function page. Can someone point me in the right direction, please? I know when someone points it out to me, I will smack myself in the head. But darned if I can find it.
