Hi Ellyn,
     I checked your dataset, it is not valid in the point feature type 
convention. The variable is declared as
T_20(time, depth, lat, lon), it actually looks like the grid type, not the 
point feature type. A good point feature type variable should look like 
T_20(station, time), lat(station), and lon(station). Here is the URL for the 
point feature convention:

You need to make the change to create a valid point feature type dataset.
