CF folks, On a telecon yesterday with a coastal inundation modeling group, one of the PIs asked me how to handle vertical datums in NetCDF -- specifically where to specify that the model bathymetry and water levels were were relative to NAVD88. I wasn't sure how to reply.
Was there any resolution to the 2nd half of this question asked back in 2011? http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/pipermail/cf-metadata/2011/054483.html I looked at the draft 1.7 spec, and the only vertical datum reference info I found was the ability to specify VERT_DATUM in the new CRS well-known-text (WKT) section: http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-conventions/1.7-draft1/ch05s06.html#idp5644304 Is this how we should specify the vertical datum in CF, using VERT_DATUM in WKT?
