WMO Multimodel | Change in the dimension's names

Hell @fbeninca

I found something strange when I was working with the WMO multimodel products. From 20220127 to now, there is a change in the dimension and variable's name for longitude and latitude. See the screenshot after these lines. Why is this the reason for this change? Because, now I need to adapt my evaluation scripts...

Thanks
