+ <TD> If the model has multiple choices for the vertical coordinate
+system during localization (e.g. pressure, height, etc) then this
+should be .true. if previous versions of get_state_meta_data() did
+a vertical conversion or if most of the state is going to be impacted
+by at least one observation.  If only part of the state is going to
+be updated or if get_state_meta_data() never used to do vertical 
+conversions, leave it .false..  The results should be the same
+but the run time may be impacted by doing unneeded conversions
+up front.  For models without vertical conversion choices the
+setting of this item has no impact.
