get_arco_variables
Return the list of ARCO variables available for a dataset.
Each row's type (index 2) is either "zarr" or "reference" (kerchunk).
A "reference" variable is often listed multiple times, once per kerchunk
reference variant (plain, "-remote-https", "-remote-osdf", etc.) — always
pick the "-osdf" variant's URL; the others' chunk targets can be internal
paths that only resolve on NCAR's network. Open it with
xr.open_dataset(url, engine="kerchunk", storage_options={"remote_protocol":
"https", "lazy": True}) — that's better behaved than hand-building an
fsspec reference filesystem. A "zarr" row needs no variant picking — its
URL already routes through the OSDF director (rewritten automatically);
open it directly with xr.open_dataset(url, engine="zarr").
Results are capped at 300 rows (look for "truncated": true); narrow with
search_arco_variables if you hit the cap.
