[Wrf-users] tslist Profiles: Vertical Coordinates?

[Nikhil Garg]

The output of your data is on the model levels which are being used in WRF.
In order to find out more on it, you can check the wrf_timeseries.F code in
*share* directory in your wrf installation directory.

Number of levels is governed by this command in Registry.EM_COMMON

*rconfig   integer   max_ts_level    namelist,domains    1              15
      -       "max_ts_level"   "Highest model level for time series output"*

If you want to output data on all the levels or more levels, you change
value from 15 to whatever model level number you got, recompile the code
and it should output at more locations.

About converting from Model level to pressure levels, i think you can use
NCL or something like tht to post process the data or look at WRF user
manual for more information. Normally it require some sort of linear
interpolation or something. NCL has many functions for this sort of thing,
or you can create your own script.
