Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing handling of vertical and Z, then read the context in issues #87 and #139. Decide whether the new names should be parametric_vertical and computed_vertical or the _z variants, define their matching behavior from the listed CF attributes, and document tests that distinguish the cases.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

  2. computed matches variables with standard_name in a list of computed_standard_name.

Options:
