Vertical Coordinate Systems

Vertical Coordinate Systems is a computational framework in atmospheric and oceanic modeling that defines the mathematical representation of the vertical dimension by specifying how grid levels are distributed and transformed relative to physical height or pressure, distinguishing it from horizontal coordinate systems through its specialized treatment of stratification, terrain following, and layering in geophysical fluid dynamics.
