You'll find below an output from ncdump in order to answer the part about data arrangement (I hope ...)
Otherwise, we have:

```
dask                      0.8.2                    py27_0    defaults
xarray                    0.7.2                    py27_0    defaults
netcdf4                   1.1.1                np18py27_0    defaults
```

Looking forward for any suggestions.
cheers
