GVCORD
GVCORD is the vertical coordinate of the grid to be selected.
The standard values are:
NONE for surface data
PRES data in pressure coordinates (millibars)
THTA data in isentropic coordinates (Kelvin)
HGHT data in height coordinates (meters)
SGMA data in sigma coordinates
The value in GVCORD may be overridden by specifying %GVCORD with the
grids to be found. For example:
GFUNC = SUB ( TMPC @850 %PRES, TMPC @1500 %HGHT )
will compute the difference between temperatures on the 850-mb level
and the 1500-meter level.
