/**
 * A 1D coordinate reference system used for recording heights or depths. Vertical CRSs make use
 * of the direction of gravity to define the concept of height or depth, but the relationship with
 * gravity may not be straightforward. By implication, ellipsoidal heights (h) cannot be captured
 * in a vertical coordinate reference system. Ellipsoidal heights cannot exist independently, but
 * only as inseparable part of a 3D coordinate tuple defined in a geographic 3D coordinate
 * reference system.
