  subroutine nf95_find_coord(ncid, name, dimid, varid, std_name)

    ! This procedure returns the name, dimension id or variable id of
    ! the NetCDF coordinate with standard name "std_name", if such a
    ! coordinate exists. The standard name is only used to know what
    ! to search, it is not used for the search itself. The search
    ! itself is done via a string match on the attribute "units". So
    ! the NetCDF variable one looks for does not need to have the
    ! attribute "std_name".
