I can step in here.
I have used 3 dimensional arrays to store weather data for specific sites.
I have several sensors across several locations on a site that I need to
track over time.
My array looks like:
reading[SiteID][SessorFarmID][Time]
This is used in a non-web language, but a similar situation could envisioned
for Cold Fusion or JavaScript.
