Hi,

     I am providing netCDF data via TDS and using NCSS (subset service) to
provide the option of downloading data as CSV.

     Is it possible to deselect latitude, longitude, and station number in
a time-series netCDF file that contains only one station with one latitude
and longitude?  The resultant CSV files contain extra columns for station
number, latitude, and longitude.  Because these values never change, this
seems like a waste of bandwidth.  In my netCDF files, I have specified the
dimension of the timeSeries to 1, rather than leave it out entirely.

      Here's a live example where I'm selecting four physical variables via
NCSS, but I also get back station number, latitude, and longitude:

Thanks,
Aaron
