  System.Double* vshift
);

Description

The verticalShift parameter is a way to identify this VCS as offset from some other known surface. For example, you might know that a dataset's depths are referenced to mean lower low water (a tidal level). You might also know that for this dataset, mean lower low water is 1.23 meters 'down' from local mean sea level. The VCS could be defined for mean sea level but with a verticalShift of -1.23 to shift the 'zero' level to mean lower low water.
