[netCDFJava #VZT-405755]: skew-t with wrfout data

There would have to be aliases for the temperature and dewpoint variable names 
in the alaises list, but theoretically, it should.  It would have to be on the 
same grid as the temp grid.  There may be some issues with the vertical domain. 
 If it doesn't work, upload your sample file with dewpoint to:
