Data Request Section: 2.1 Spatial dimensions (spatialShape)

The spatial shape record contains the spatial dimensions of the field, and also, for convenience, an integer specifying the number of levels if that number is specified. A boolean level flag is set to 'true' if the number of vertical levels is specified.
