No, that's what we are expecting, but your file looks like:

   float Temperature(nx_lon=50, nx_lat=50, nz_height_above_ground_t=15, 
nt_time=9);
     :long_name = "Temperature @ height_above_ground";
     :units = "K";
     :standard_name = "air_temperature";
     :coordinates = "time height_above_ground_t lat lon";
     :maxvalue = 301.2f; // float
     :minvalue = 200.0f; // float
   float Geopotential_height_surface(nx_lon=50, nx_lat=50);
     :long_name = "Geopotential height @ surface";
     :units = "m";
     :standard_name = "surface_altitude";
     :coordinates = "lat lon";
     :maxvalue = 3017.7f; // float
     :minvalue = 28.1f; // float

which is X,Y,Z,T and X,Y

I would expect them to look like:

   float Temperature(nt_time=9, nz_height_above_ground_t=15,, nx_lat=50, 
nx_lon=50);
     :long_name = "Temperature @ height_above_ground";
     :units = "K";
     :standard_name = "air_temperature";
     :coordinates = "time height_above_ground_t lat lon";
     :maxvalue = 301.2f; // float
     :minvalue = 200.0f; // float
   float Geopotential_height_surface(nx_lat=50, nx_lon=50);
     :long_name = "Geopotential height @ surface";
     :units = "m";
     :standard_name = "surface_altitude";
     :coordinates = "lat lon";
     :maxvalue = 3017.7f; // float
     :minvalue = 28.1f; // float
