Let me continue with a question similar to Ed's regarding the ocean sigma
coordinate.
z(n,k,j,i) = eta(n,j,i) + sigma(k)*(depth(j,i)+eta(n,j,i))
The definition does not include the time (step) index n for the depth. What
if I want to store morphological developments in a netCDF CF compliant data
file. In that case, may I assume an extension of the definition to
z(n,k,j,i) = eta(n,j,i) + sigma(k)*(depth(n,j,i)+eta(n,j,i))
or would we have to introduce a completely new coordinate system for such
extensions?
Best regards,
Bert
