• Multiple unlimited dimensions are also permitted within a single Group
• A single variable may also use multiple unlimited dimensions

  dimensions:
    time = unlimited;
    station = unlimited;
  variables:
    float temperature(time, station);
    double time(time);
    string station_id(station);
