Create variables inside the field of netcdf

Hi,

I am trying to create a netcdf with the variables I am having in matrix form. However, I cannot create a variable inside a field.

fid=netcdf.create([outputpath '.nc'],'NETCDF4');
latdimID = netcdf.defDim(fid,'lat',length(lat));
lat_ID = netcdf.defVar(fid,'lat','double',latdimID);
netcdf.endDef(fid);
netcdf.putVar(fid,lat_ID, latvalues); 

like this way of working, I am able to create a variable but I want my variable to be inside the field of "Europe" for example.

so in the end, I intend to something like this:

lat_ID = netcdf.defVar(fid,'Europe/lat','double',latdimID);

but of course, it is not correct way to proceed. Do you know how can I put all of my variables inside one field? with the help of this, I can classify my variables.

Thanks

Hello,

"Europe" will be a group name in netcdf:

GID    = netcdf.defGrp(fid,'Europe');
lat_ID = netcdf.defVar(GID,'lat','double',latdimID);
