1.8 CF Standard Names: Geopotential Height At Cloud Top (geopotential_height_at_cloud_top)

Record Label : geopotential_height_at_cloud_top

Record Title : Geopotential Height At Cloud Top

CF Standard Name : geopotential_height_at_cloud_top

Record Description : Cloud_top refers to the top of the highest cloud. Geopotential is the sum of the specific gravitational potential energy relative to the geoid and the specific centripetal potential energy. Geopotential height is the geopotential divided by the standard acceleration due to gravity. It is numerically similar to the altitude (or geometric height) and not to the quantity with standard name "height", which is relative to the surface.
