Dear @davidhassell According to my computer, the 20th is tomorrow, but I expect you are thinking ahead, or perhaps in Australia? :smile: Thank you for raising this point. I suggest that we insert the following statement just after the title for the "sigma over z" coordinate in Appendix D:
> The description of this type of parametric vertical coordinate is defective > in version 1.8 and earlier versions of the standard, in that it does not > state what values the vertical coordinate variable should contain. Therefore, > in accordance with the rules, all versions of the standard before 1.9 are > deprecated for datasets that use the "ocean sigma over z" coordinate. and in the conformance document we add another recommendation for Appendix D: > Versions of the standard before 1.9 should not be used for vertical > coordinate variables with `standard_name = "ocean_sigma_z_coordinate"` > because these versions are defective in their definition of this coordinate.
