1.8 CF Standard Names: Grid Latitude (grid_latitude)

Record Label : grid_latitude

Record Title : Grid Latitude

CF Standard Name : grid_latitude

Record Description : Latitude is positive northward; its units of degree_north (or equivalent) indicate this explicitly. In a latitude-longitude system defined with respect to a rotated North Pole, the standard name of grid_latitude should be used instead of latitude. Grid latitude is positive in the grid-northward direction, but its units should be plain degree.
