Variable naming for different versions of GLDAS NOAH
====================================================
 
For GLDAS Noah 1.0 parameters are called using their PDS IDs from the table below.

For GLDAS Noah 2.0 and GLDAS Noah 2.1 parameters are called using Variable Names from the table below.
A full list of variable names can be found in the `GLDAS 2.x README <https://hydro1.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/data/GLDAS/README_GLDAS2.pdf>`_
