Dear @johnwilkin Thanks for your comment. I think `zlev` and `sigma` both have to be dimensioned by `nlayer`, since they're formula terms of a coordinate variable of that dimension. That's also implied by the text, since the same `k` is used to index both of them. However, for any `k`, only one of them is used. The reason for putting missing data in the other is so that the data-reader or program can easily tell which way round (top down or bottom up) the levels have been arranged along the dimension.
If `nsigma=0`, the vertical coordinate is purely depth; if `nsigma=nlayer`, the vertical coordinate is sigma. In either case you wouldn't use sigma_over_z, would you?
