All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable

public class VerticalCT
extends CoordinateTransform

A VerticalCT is a CoordinateTransform function CT: (GeoZ) -> Height or Pressure. Typically it may be dependent also on X,Y and/or Time. CT: (X,Y,GeoZ,Time) -> Height or Pressure. This class just records the transformation parameters. The mathematical transformation itself is delegated to a class implementing ucar.unidata.geoloc.vertical.VerticalTransform;
