only add requested beams for required variables

[JessicaS11]

Thanks for working on a fix @JessicaS11!

🎉

I tried this out and it runs smoothly for a single ATL08 file, multiple ATL08 files, and multiple ATL06 files. I'm getting an error trying to read ATL03 files, but I think that one may be a me problem because I get the same error using version 0.8.0.

😕

Looking at the output the ATL08 produces I am not seeing what I expected, but I also may just be misunderstanding. The output ds from the code in #469 (used reader.vars.append(beam_list=['gt1l', 'gt3r'], var_list=['h_canopy', "latitude", "longitude"])) was:

My confusions:

1. Shouldn't h_canopy be a Data Variable?
2. Shouldn't only gt1l and gt3r be listed in gt?

If you want to brainstorm together @JessicaS11 just let me know.

During preparations for a tutorial using ATL08 and consequent debugging of data read in of ATL08, it was noted that all beams are coordinates in the resulting DataArray, even if only select beams were requested. Looking at reader.vars.wanted after the reader.vars.append line noted above and it looks like the other beams are being added via the mandatory rgt variable... (so, for instance, gt2l/land_segments/rgt is being added even though gt2l/land_segments/h_canopy is not. Thus, all of the beams are ending up in the dimension/index/coordinate list.

This issue will require diving into how internal calls to vars.append to include required variables can also be limited to the requested beams.
