alternative 4-D data structures

[kbedka1]

There is strong desire to allow for 4-D data fields in a NetCDF, examples are temperature(latitude,longitude, time, spectral band) or cloud_amount(latitude,longitude, time, cloud type). These are not supported currently in Mc-V, but there are situations where 4-D data makes more sense than a litany of 3-D variables. The 4th dimension could act as a pseudo-band....when one loads the file into the data chooser, the band selector in the lower right could have the cloud types instead of just a band number.
