Term: Ground_surface_slope_angle

Unit: degree

Unit ref: UAAA

AMIP:

GRIB:

The slope angle is the angle (in degrees) measured between the ground (earth) surface plane and a flat, horizontal surface.

Term: deployment_longitude

Unit: degree_east

Unit ref: DEGE

AMIP:

GRIB:

The longitude of deployment of a station or instrument. The term can be used whenever the deployment position of a station or instrument needs to be supplied along with other types of positions. If a data variable has only one longitude coordinate variable, the standard name of longitude should generally be preferred to deployment_longitude, because longitude is recognised by generic software. If the deployment longitude is also the nominal longitude for a discrete geometry (as in Section 9.5 of the CF convention), the deployment longitude should also, or instead, be recorded in a coordinate variable with the standard name of longitude and axis="X". Longitude is positive northward; its units of "degree_east" (or equivalent) indicate this explicitly.
