[Wrf-users] U10 and V10 estimation in the model???

[Elena Maria Pison San Pedro]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to use the wrf-output winds as input for a wave model and I'd
like to know exactly what the wrf-output variables U10 and V10, means. 

In principle, they are the winds at 10meters (unstaggered) but:

 

-           Is it the surface winds (as the first pressure level winds)
201300 or 200100 Pa?

 

-          or is there a previous height interpolation to get exactly
the 10m winds?

 

 

Thanks a lot in advance!

Elena
