  // Example 2
  // An aggregated data variable whose aggregated data comprises two fragments.
  // Each fragment spans half of the aggregated time dimension and the whole of
  // the other three aggregated dimensions. One fragment is stored in an
  // external file and the other is stored in the same dataset as variable
  // temp2. The fragment stored in the same dataset has different but
  // equivalent units to the aggregation variable, and omits the size 1 level
  // dimension.
