Dear Andreas > I have another question: How would I express "altitude (of atmosphere > layer) above surface" in terms of CF standard names?
I agree with Alison that height is the word we use in standard names for the vertical distance above the surface. So I think the standard_name you need is just "height". That is exactly what it means. If this is to provide a vertical coordinate for a layer, as Alison says, you would do this with bounds for the vertical coordinate variable.
