136-
Dynamic height anomaly divided by the acceleration of gravity.
136+
This is the integral of specific volume anomaly with respect
137+
to pressure, from each pressure in p to the specified
138+
reference pressure divided by the constant value of the gravitational
139+
acceleration, 9.7963 m s^-2. It is not exactly the height of an
140+
isobaric surface above a geopotential surface, but is an exact
141+
geostrophic streamfunction.
