Hi Rick,
         If the goal here is to make this dataset workable in the IDV, it is a 
lot easier. Probably adding a few attributes of the coordinate for those 3D 
variables can do the job. But, I think
for the long run it would be good to follow the CF and here is the link:

look at session: 5.2
