Describe the bug The keyword "NETCDF" is used but is not defined in mf6io.pdf in the descriptions of DIS, DISV, IC, NPF, STO, DSP, and CND.

To reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Read mf6io.pdf

Expected behavior NETCDF should appear in the "Explanation of Variables" section of each of the packages that uses the option.

@rbwinst-usgs thanks for looking at the NetCDF documentation. The NetCDF keyword is analogous to the LAYERED keyword and there is a brief explanation in the section Array Input (READARRAY), where LAYERED is described. This reads:

Note that the MODFLOW 6 Extended build also supports an optional NETCDF keyword. This keyword
is not compatible with the LAYERED keyword and is a valid option only if a model NetCDF input file is
configured. This type of workflow is covered in the section which describes Extended MODFLOW 6.

This is, however, out of sync with the Extended MODFLOW section. I'll plan to add more detail there.

Seems this has been addressed but @mjreno @rbwinst-usgs correct me otherwise
