What is this? This is a vertical computational grid using a Land Ice Sigma Coordinate coordinate system with 20 vertical levels . The top layer is 0.04 m thick .

Vertical Coordinate System

Land Ice Sigma Coordinate
Land ice (glaciers, ice-caps and ice-sheets resting on bedrock and also includes ice-shelves) sigma coordinate, as defined by the CF conventions.
