1.8 CF Standard Names: Latitude (latitude)

Record Label : latitude

Record Title : Latitude

CF Standard Name : 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.

Canonical Units : degree_north
