[Wrf-users] Transforming eta levels to p levels

[孙佳]

Dear all,

I was doing the wrfout data analysis in MATLAB. Data in "wrfout_*" files are constructed in eta levels, and this is not convinient for atmosphere analysis. 

with the following formula,  I get eta values but different from those in namelist files.
                        eta = (P0-P_TOP)/(PSFC-P_TOP)    where P0=P+PB, and P PB PSFC P_TOP are all variables in wrfout_d* files

So, I am not sure that it is right if I use P0 = P+PB to do the p_level interpretion.

Can you give me some advise? I will be very appreciate about it!

Thank you all!
