Each Physical Parameter record defines a MIP variable name, associated with a CF Standard Name. Formerly known as MIP Variables in CMIP6
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| cf_standard_name | longitude |
| description | Longitude is positive eastward; its units of degree\_east (or equivalent) indicate this explicitly. In a latitude-longitude system defined with respect to a rotated North Pole, the standard name of grid\_longitude should be used instead of longitude. Grid longitude is positive in the grid-eastward direction, but its units should be plain degree. |
