Define vertical levesl manually?

croco tools (pre/post-processing)

HI,

We were discussing with Sergio Bahamondez that would like to have a higher density of vertical levels at certain depth (e.g. 1000 m out of 4000m, an oceanic domain).

  1. Does any one knows what combination of parameters provides this?

  2. Could it be possible to provide the vertical distribution manually, as WRF allows for the eta levels? We understand this would need a modification of the code, i.e. read this file instead of calculate the Vtransform function.

Regards,

Andrés

Hi Andres,

we did it years ago with a colleague of mine but to have something optimal (eg not too much vertical levels at the surface), we have to modify the stretching function in the code.
I guess you could impose some vertical levels without providing a function (by reading a file or by directly coding the levels in the code)
