Hi Sara: Thanks for adding your example to the mix. This appears to be a timeseries at a single x,y location with all the measurements on single, but different levels (?) Because these are single level, I would be inclined to use a variation of the station representation. One possibility is

Hmm, I think this is an unfortunate choice of terms - we make a fairly clear distinction between profile data and station data - but I don't think it's just a local semantic problem. While I realize that the storage for multiple profiles and multiple-depth time series data are similar, I

Nan- Alternatively, it seems like you could use a stationTimeSeries and just have different locations (stations) to indicate the different depths. The x/y would be the same, but the z would be different for each location. It sounds like you are interested in a time series at each depth
