; 1) extract from a NetCDF file the longitude, latitude, and their dimensions
; and make sure it is 1D or 2D arrays

; or
; 2) given longitude and latitude arrays, get their dimensions and make
; sure they are 1D or 2D arrays

; @param in1 {in}{required}
; Case 1: the name of the netcdf file
; Case 2: 1d or 2d arrays defining longitudes and latitudes.
; Out: the variable that will contain the longitudes
;
; @param in2 {in}{required}
; Case 1: the name of the variable that contains the longitude in the NetCDF file
; Case 2: 1d or 2d arrays defining longitudes and latitudes.
;         Note that these arrays are also outputs and can therefore be modified.
; Out: the variable that will contain the latitudes
;
; @param in3 {in}{required}
; Case 1: the name of the variable that contains the latitude in the NetCDF file
; Case 2: the number of points in the longitudinal direction.
;
; @param in4 {out}
; Case 1: the number of points in the longitudinal direction
; Case 2: the number of points in the latitudinal direction
;
; @param in5 {out}
; Case 1: the number of points in the latitudinal direction
; Case 2: 1 or 2 to specify if lon and lat should be 1D (jpi or jpj)
; arrays or 2D arrays (jpi,jpj). Note that of  n_dimensions = 1, then the
; grid must be regular (each longitude must be the same for all latitudes
; and each latitude should be the same for all longitudes).

; @param in6 {out}
; the variable that will contain the longitudes
