font-family:Arial'>I am creating ASCII observation files to use with the
ASCII2NC tool. &nbsp;In the documentation, the ASCII Point Observation Format
includes a field called &#8220;level&#8221; that is &#8220;pressure level in
hPa or accumulation interval in hours for the observation type&#8221;. &nbsp;What is
the best way to determine this pressure level? &nbsp;&nbsp;And does this value vary depending
on the height of the observation in addition to the elevation? (e.g. will measurements
taken at 60m, 30m, and 10m on the same tower have different &#8220;Level&#8221;
values?)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
