When it comes to volumetric clouds, the D stands for how many dimensions you store the points in.

A 2d volume (similar to an image) has pixels stored in 2d coordinates

A 3d volume has points stored in 3d coordinates. Imagine an image for every vertical slice of a brain scan.

A 4d volume has points stored in 4d coordinates, where the newest dimension is time. Imagine a 3d volumetric capture for each frame in time.

don't forget to add the 3 color dimensions. (this may seem pendantic, but when doing feature-extraction, these extra dimensions really are significant)
