33273376 MDU6SXNzdWUzMzI3MzM3Ng== 123 Selective variable reads in open_dataset 2443309 closed 0     2 2014-05-11T23:39:12Z 2014-05-12T02:25:10Z 2014-05-12T02:25:10Z MEMBER      

One of the beautiful things about the netCDF data model is that the variables can be read individually. I'm suggesting adding a variables keyword (or something along those lines) to the open_dataset function to support selecting one or more or all variables in a file. This will allow for faster reads and smaller memory usage when the full set of variables is not needed.
