Comment (by taylor13):
another slight tweak for the sentences under consideration (but you be the
judge on whether it makes it any more readable):
In this case the same terms and named variables must appear in both except
for terms that depend on the vertical dimension. For such terms the
variable name appearing in the boundary variable's formula_terms attribute
must differ from that found in the formula_terms attribute of the
coordinate variable itself. The boundary variable of the formula_terms
variable must have the same dimensions as the formula_terms variable, plus
a trailing dimension (CDL order) for the maximum number of vertices in a
cell, which must be the same as the trailing dimension of the boundary
variable of the parametric vertical coordinate variable.
best,
Karl
