1.8 CF Standard Names: Grid Longitude (grid_longitude)

Record Label : grid_longitude

Record Title : Grid Longitude

CF Standard Name : grid_longitude

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