unnecessary dimensions in storm catalog files?

[danielbwright]

Do we really need all these: netcdf file:/Users/daniel/Google_Drive/RainyDay2/Summer2023_RefactorTesting/Madison_ExampleCatalog_nclimgrid84.nc { dimensions: catmax = 100; xloc = 100; yloc = 100; stormtime = 100; duration = 3; time = 3; longitude = 60; latitude = 36;

It seems like we could have just 4 dimensions: 'latitude', 'longitude', 'time' and something like 'nstorms'

I don't think this is unnecessary. The issue was we had added the storm variables like cat time, catmax, catx, caty as arrays to each of the storm netcdfs. The variables cannot be added without having a dimension in xarray (as far as I have understood and tried).

We can have a single dimension for catmax, xloc, yloc, and time.

[danielbwright]

this is a high priority.

Done.
