/// A representation of mesh based data on an Arkawa C Grid.
/**
 * The Arakawa C grid is defined by various combinations of horizontal and
 * vertical centerings.
 *
 * The horizontal centerings occur at so called mass or M points, U points,
 * and V points. These centerings are depicted in the following diagram:
 *
 * >  *-------V-------*
 * >  |               |
 * >  |               |
 * >  |               |
 * >  U       M       U
 * >  |               |
 * >  |               |
 * >  |               |
 * >  *-------V-------*
 *
 * The horizontal coordinates are stored in 2d arrays. Assuming the mass
 * coordinate arrays have dimension [nx, ny], then the U coordinate arrays
 * have dimension [nx + 1, ny], and the V coordinate arrays have dimension
 * [nx, ny + 1].
 *
 * The vertical centerings occur at so called M points and W points. These
 * centerings are depicted in the following diagram.
 *
 * >  *-------W-------*
 * >  |               |
 * >  |               |
 * >  |               |
 * >  |       M       |
 * >  |               |
 * >  |               |
 * >  |               |
 * >  *-------W-------*
 *
 * The vertical coordinates are stored in 1d arrays. Assuming the M vertical
 * coordinate has the dimension [nz], then the W coordinate has dimension
 * [nz + 1].
 *
 * The 3d mesh dimensions can be obtained from mesh metadata, as well as
 * coordinate array names, and array attributes describing the data type,
 * units, etc.
 *
 * Variables may exist on one of a number of permutations of horizontal and
 * vertical centerings, array attributes contains the centering metadata.
