rhop dimensions

Variable rhop (Sea Water Potential Density) should probably have a dimension coordinate. If you look up the standard name table (sea_water_potential_density), it says:

... To specify the reference pressure to which the quantity applies, provide a scalar coordinate variable with standard name reference_pressure...

There is no reference for rhop in the CMIP6 cmor tables.

Hi, we don't need to provide a dimension coordinate if the reference is the sea level pressure (default in the standard name table for rhop). Indeed it isn't in the CMIP6 data request but we consider it relevant for CORDEX (at least MedCORDEX).
Thanks for your question,
Florence.
