Hi,
the CF documentation has several standard_names for dimensionless
vertical axes, while standard_names for vertical axes with units are
mentioned, but not given.
grib has for metric vertical axes the following descriptions:
1. height above ground
2. height above mean sea level
3. depth below surface
4. geometrical height
Matching standard names are eventually
1. height
2. height_above_reference_ellipsoid / altitude ? (are these two aliases?)
3. depth
4. ?
I'm currently fighting with 2. Which one is correct? Which one should be
used for vertical axes?
And for pressure vertical coordinates: is the correct standard_name
'air_pressure'?
Could these eventually be mentioned in the Convention besides the
standard_names for dimensionless vertical coordinates?
Best regards,
Heiko
