For that particular file, I see that the "feature_id" variable <br>
(corresponding to the "feature_id" dimension) has a cf_role = <br>
"timeseries_id" attribute, and that the global metadata has a <br>
featureType = "timeSeries" attribute. So given <br>

, this seems to be relatively standardized, and in that case the <br>
heuristics could be improve to recognize that the main dimension is <br>
feature_id (probably with a test that the size of the time dimension is <br>
1). As far as I can see/remember, the vector layer support in netCDF <br>
was originally developed for the featureType=point and profile use cases <br>
, so some tuning for timeseries isn't unexpected<br>
