[ncl-talk] vertical wavenumber FFT

[Dennis Shea]

Not sure what information you have available.

[1] not geometric altitude but if you have temperature and surface
geopotential, you could use the hydrostatic equation.

[2] then interpolate (int2p_n) the results of [1] to fixed geopotential
height

Else ... maybe ...
