     Atmosphere sigma coordinate
     standard_name = "atmosphere_sigma_coordinate"
     Definition
     p(n,k,j,i) = ptop + sigma(k)*(ps(n,j,i)-ptop)
     where p(n,k,j,i) is the pressure at gridpoint (n,k,j,i), ptop is the pressure at the top of the model,
     sigma(k) is the dimensionless coordinate at vertical gridpoint (k), and ps(n,j,i) is the surface pressure at
     horizontal gridpoint (j,i)and time (n).
    
     The format for the formula_terms attribute is
     formula_terms = "sigma: var1 ps: var2 ptop: var3"
