Adam,
For accessing level 2, you would actually remove the `.variables('N0Q')`
since all of the variables are contained within a single Level 2 file.
Using OPeNDAP, though, you're still only downloading data for the
parameters you access, through code like `ref =
data.variables['BaseReflectivityDR'][:]`
