Returns:

flag=2: HGTS - SHGT (geopotential height minus terrain). Requires HGTS and SHGT in the dataset.
flag=1/4: hypsometric integration from surface pressure and temperature. Requires PRSS and TEMP.
flag=3: the stored 1D height non-dim coord (level,) — terrain-following levels are heights AGL.

Return type:
