  }
  group Wyoming{
    dimensions: time = unlimited, stations = 61;
    variables: float temperature(time, stations);
  }
  group Alaska {
    dimensions: time = unlimited, stations = 53;
    variables: float temperature(time, stations);
  } 
  ...
  dimensions: time = unlimited;
  variables: float average_temperature(time);
}
