[Go-essp-tech] Interpolation from sigma to height --

[Karl Taylor]

Hi Martin,

I'm not sure about this, but according to the Appendix D. of the 
CF-conventions

(see:  
http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-conventions/1.5/cf-conventions.html#dimensionless-v-coord 
)

the formulas are different enough, at least for some variants of sigma 
coordinates, that the script will unlikely work.

Anyway, let us know what you find out.
cheers,
Karl
