Limits dependent on vertical coordinate #29

The expected range of values for some variables may depend on the coordinates. E.g. ocean cell thickness may be very large in isopycnal models (#26).

Building such dependencies into the specification of ranges is not easy.

Could be done if we have checks which apply to: (1) the physical variable (e.g. sftlf ), (2) the CMOR variable request (e.g. tas.Amon) and (3) an output variable (e.g. thkcello.Omon.[isopycnal,....] -- but we don't have a vocabulary to refer to the latter.
