    - netCDF4.Group: Group(self, parent, name)
    - netCDF4.MFDataset: MFDataset(self, files, check=False, aggdim=None, exclude=[])
  - netCDF4.Dimension: Dimension(self, group, name, size=None)
  - netCDF4.VLType: A VLType instance is used to describe a variable length (VLEN) data type.
  - netCDF4.Variable: Variable(self, group, name, datatype, dimensions=(), zlib=False, complevel=4, shuffle=True, fletcher32=False, contiguous=False, chunksizes=None, endian='native', least_significant_digit=None,fill_value=None)
