I think there is a problem here with an implicit assumption about the numbering 
convention for whether k=N is the surface or the bottom. In 
ocean_sigma_coordinate is does not matter if a user numbers from the surface 
sigma(1) = 0 to bottom sigma(N) = -1, or as in the ROMS model for example 
sigma(1) = -1 at the bottom and sigma(N) = 0 at the surface (k increasing in 
the same direction as z). As written, the definition above requires k=1 be 
sigma=0 and z=eta. The reverse order is not supported.
