Standard column naming convention for catalogs pointing to raw CESM output on glade / campaign about intake-esm-datastore HOT 4 OPEN

@sherimickelson That's a good idea! I'll add MARBL variables (ocn biogeochemistry) to the list. In this link, vertical_grid : none => 2D, all other values (layer_avg may be the only one right now) => 3D

from intake-esm-datastore.

I'll go ahead and update the 3 glade / campaign CESM catalogs (CMIP5 raw output, CMIP6 raw output, and LENS) with everything except longname (current tool can't crack netCDF to fill that column)

from intake-esm-datastore.

@jeffdlb recommends adding long_name and dim (2D or 3D) and splitting date_range into start_year and end_year for easier searching.

@jeffdlb and @mnlevy1981 and @andersy005 and @kmpaul and @bonnland
I just wanted to add some references in case we want to create some kind of data structure that holds the long_name descriptions for CESM variables as @jeffdlb suggested. These lists contain variable names, long names, and units. I'm not sure where we can find info on the dimensionality of each variable.
cam variables (atm)
pop variables (ocn)
clm variables (lnd)
cice variables (sea ice)
