I'd imagine something like the following:

To read in netCDF like the following,

```

(note the problematic `isobaric(station, profile, isobaric)`), one could specify a kwarg to `xr.open_dataset` to rename it,

```python
ds = xr.open_dataset(""my_problematic_file.nc"", rename_vars={'isobaric': 'isobaric_coord'})
```

thus giving

```
