Overview

The PCM vertical coordinate, also called "model levels" is rather specific in the PCM and typically consists of hybrid "sigma-pressure" coordinates.

sigma coordinates

hybrid sima pressure coordinates

in practice

Information about the vertical coordinate is only partially stored in the PCM dynamics start files
