yes, good point.
if it is a multidimension representation, you would also need the
profile dimension. if its a ragged array, you would need either the
rowSize or parentIndex variable.

Wouldn't you also need the profile dimension on the temperature and
pressure variables in order to connect them all as part of the same
profile collection?

Hi Andrew:
You can use a dimension=1 instead of a scalar.
OK, you mean if one used the vector method.
yes
But you cant use
lat(lat)
lon(lon)
time(time)
the correct usage in the single profile case would be:
lat(profile)
lon(profile)
time(profile)
So, do you mean in the vector method have this? (simpler I guess to
have common profile dimension = 1)
yes, you cant use incorrect dimensions, even when they are all = 1.
dimensions:
profile=1
pressure = 57
variables:
lat(profile)
lon(profile)
time(profile)
pressure(pressure)
temperature(pressure)
Instead of this?
Dimensions:
time=1
lat=1
lon=1
pressure=57
Variables:
time(time)
lat(lat)
lon(lon)
pressure(pressure)
temperature(pressure)
