This would typically be a NTIME x NCELLS x NLAYERS array (where NCELLS could be 1-dimensional for an unstructured grid or 2-dimensional, i.e. IMAX x JMAX, for a structured grid model) representing the the thickness of the NLAYERS sediment layers. By the way please note that the administration of layers is in general carried independently per computational cell, so layer k of cell j1 does not need to be connected to layer k of neighboring cell j2.
