Dear Alison

I think the canonical units should be Kelvin which would still allow Celsius to be used in the data files because UDunits can convert between them. The definition needs to be expanded a bit to include the standard CF text for potential temperature:
> ' Potential temperature is the temperature a parcel of air or sea water would have if moved adiabatically to sea level pressure. The potential temperature at the sea floor is that of water adjacent to the ocean bottom, which would usually be the deepest grid cell in an ocean model.'

This is fine, thank you.
