EPOCH can output variables at different periods, so each individal

concatenate variables across their time dimension.
We have two choices:
1. One time dimension where some variables may not be defined at all time
points, and so will be filled with NaNs at missing points; or
2. Multiple time dimensions, one for each output frequency
The second option is better for memory consumption, as the missing data with
the first option still takes up space. However, proper lazy-loading may
mitigate this.
The ``separate_times`` argument can be used to switch between these choices.

"""Preprocess SDF files for xarray ensuring matching job ids and sets
time dimension.
This class is used as a 'preprocess' function within ``xr.open_mfdataset``. It
performs three main duties on each individual file's Dataset:
1. Checks for a **matching job ID** across all files to ensure dataset consistency.
2. **Filters** the Dataset to keep only the variables specified in `data_vars`
and their required coordinates.
3. **Expands dimensions** to include a single 'time' coordinate, preparing the
Dataset for concatenation.
EPOCH can output variables at different intervals, so some SDF files
may not contain the requested variable. We combine this data into one
dataset by concatenating across the time dimension.
The combination is performed using ``join="outer"`` (in the calling ``open_mfdataset`` function),
meaning that the final combined dataset will contain the variable across the
entire time span, with NaNs filling the time steps where the variable was absent in
the individual file.
With large SDF files, this filtering method will save on memory consumption when
compared to loading all variables from all files before concatenation.
