[Go-essp-tech] CMIP5_Amon pfull/phalf

[Denis Nadeau]

Hi,

I am trying to create phalf and pfull variable using 
"alternate_hybrid_sigma".
I am having trouble due to the 2 time axis.

'time2' is needed by "pfull" and "phalf"

    variable_entry:    phalf/pfull
    ....
    dimensions:        longitude latitude alevhalf/alevel time2


'time' is needed by "alternate_hybrid_sigma"

    variable_entry:    ps
    ...
    formula:          p(n,k,j,i) = ap(k) + b(k)*ps(n,j,i)
    z_factors:        ap: ap b: b ps: ps
    z_bounds_factors: ap: ap_bnds b: b_bnds ps: ps
    dimensions:        longitude latitude time

I tried to create 2 time axis, one for 'ps' and one for 'phalf' or 
'pfull' but I get an NetCDF error.


Do you know how to create 'phalf/pfull'?  
What is the difference between axis 'time' and 'time2'



Thanks,
Denis
