 A.
 When processing NetCDF files, the level information needs to be
-specified to tell MET which 2D slice of data to use. There is
-currently no way to explicitly define which time slice to use

 Assuming that the first array is the time, this will select the 6-th
 time slice of the APCP data and plot it since these indices are 0-based.
