Variable registry¶
Canonical quantity names (architecture §2.5): CF standard names are canonical and
unprefixed; solver-internal quantities live in the icon: namespace. The GRIB2
column exists for table-driven ingestion only (§7.2). The _on_interface_levels
suffix marks the height_interface dim variant of a quantity and inherits its base
quantity’s canonical units.
