Variables in the vertical can be selected with the WRF eta vertical levels or using pressure levels Some of the variables are dependent on the selected physics options. NCL Home > Documentation > Functions > WRF, Interpolation wrf_interp_3d_z. 993814707 2 64. As the WRF vertical coordinates are based on eta level, I am having trouble in getting parameters at different pressure level. edu Wed Jan 8 08:53:17 MST 2020. I have WRF output in native model grid (eta levels) and the variables pressure, geopotential height (among other obviously). In this system, the vertical levels are defined as fractions of pressure. For example, in the following lines I have made the settings for 39 levels. via namelist settings. Nov 20, 2019 · The version of WRF I used is WRF 3. If in doubt, check the native wrfout file to see if the selected variable of interest is included. out. resolutions: one uses 37 vertical levels (L37) and the other uses 50 vertical levels (L50). 0 in WRF? I will appreciate your reply. It must be on the ARW WRF unstaggered grid.

Nov 20, 2018 · Hello, I'm using NCL to create a netCDF file with height data at pressure levels as opposed to eta levels. This is because WRF implements hybrid vertical coordinate, which is roughly terrain following in lower levels and pressure levels in the upper. 98 , 0. My questions are: 1] Does the model height locate in the middle of two eta_levels in WRF? For example, is the first model height in the middle of the eta_level 1 and the eta_level 2? 2] Is the ground surface defined as eta_level = 1.

The code for both options is compiled into the model. Here comes the problem. The code I've used can be found here I am trying to set up WRF model and I would like to specify explicit eta levels. Geopotential height in [m] with at least 3 dimensions. Since pressure will vary at the surface, both horizontally and temporally, then the sigma value of 1 will be your surface level (versus the model top, with the sigma value of 0, which will usually be a fixed pressure). If you stretched your vertical grid with dense-enough sigma levels near the surface you can interpolate any 3D parameter to On Tue, Jan 7, 2020 at 9:12 AM Anahita Amiri Farahani via ncl-talk < ncl-talk at ucar. The AGL (Above Ground Level) of the same eta level varied slightly during simulation Dec 31, 2020 · Thanks! I started reviewing the Technical Note that has some details; appreciate the quick summary because it is clear that once I potentially get away from an ideal case the mapping of eta levels to altitude is non-trivial, and even the specification of eta levels and how that maps to nominal dry pressure is a bit hairy. How should i set space I have some doubts about " the height of model level" in WRF. input by setting e_vert and p_top_requested variables and we can explicitly define eta_levels from 1 to 0. Can anyone guide me in correct direction. Could you be willing to tell me about how to interpolate variables of WRF to pressure level? I tried to do such conversion by the function "wrf_user_interp_level". Contribute to wrf-model/Users_Guide development by creating an account on GitHub. The surface level has a value of 1, and the top level has a value of 0. I think the coordinate system in WRF 3. input. How do I decide the number of vertical levels to use? And, how do I decide the eta levels manually Dec 9, 2023 · The sigma vertical coordinate system is a dimensionless coordinate system used in atmospheric models like WRF. 6. input). From WRF output, you have elevation and pressure for each sigma level. 95 , . You can customize the vertical levels with "eta_levels" in WRF namelist (namelist. But you can always calculate the height if eta levels based. 0000000 0. Apr 8, 2021 · I am running WRF model with three two-way nested domains of 9,3 an 1km resolutions. 97 , 0.
