Description

At the moment we can't specify the elevation index when loading a dataset in local.py. This can be problematic with datasets with a number of valid elevation options. This was especially noticeable when working on CLIMATE-518. We should add an optional parameter for dataset loading so a user can specify an elevation index besides 0.
