How may I determine that a given eta level corresponds to xm AGL?

25 December 2021 1 7K Report

Hi,

I am trying to optimize WRF namelist.input parameters in order to conduct a comparison with the observed data. So, I would like to know how to determine that eta level corresponds to a given height.

Thx

Hi,

To calculate the altitude above sea level in meters I use this: height = (PH+PHB)/9.81 You can apply it for each level and determine the corresponding height.

Best,
