[ncl-talk] Full model and Half model height of WRF output

[Shreta Ghimire]

Dear NCL users,


I was trying to calculate full and half model height using WRF output. For
half-model height i used the formula:


z = 0.5*(tmp(0:dimv(0)-2,:,:)+tmp(1:dimv(0)-1,:,:) ; On half (mass) levels
z at description = "height"
z at units = "m"


that was given in an example of wrf_interp_1d (
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/wrf_interp_1d.shtml).


To calculate full-model height I used "height" in wrf_user_getvar (
https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/WRF_arw/wrf_user_getvar.shtml).


The values obtained from both of these are same. Now I am a bit confused on
what do I need to use to compute the full model height and were they
suppose to give the same values?


Thank you in advance. Any help will be appreciated.



Regards,
Shreta
