At OSNAP, we have variables like MOC_ALL, MOC_EAST and MOC_WEST which are time series (``TIME``), but these could be represented as MOC (``N_PROF``, ``TIME``) where instead of the three different variables, N_PROF=3. This would be somewhat more difficult to communicate to the user, since LATITUDE and LONGITUDE are not single points per N_PROF but instead may represent end points of a section. Variables MOC_ALL_ERR are also provided, which could be translated to MOC_ERR (``N_PROF``, ``TIME``) with LATITUDE (``N_PROF``) or LATITUDE_BOUND (``N_PROF``, 2). Heat fluxes also exist, as MHT_ALL, MHT_EAST and MHT_WEST, so these could be MHT (``N_PROF``, ``TIME``).
