[NARCCAP-discuss] Conversion to pressure levels

[Seth McGinnis]

Hi Jonas,

It will vary from model to model.  (That is, it's possible that some
groups used the same method, but there were no requirements that they do
so.)

Unfortunately, I don't have any details on that stage of the
post-processing, so you will need to contact the individual modeling
groups to find out more.  See the "Participants" page on NARCCAP for the
names of the modelers and links to their contact info:

Cheers,

--Seth
