something to think about before a documentation discussion: best advice i got from a documentation writer at IBM was decide who your audience is when you're writing each part of...
the first level of the 3d field is the model surface, and 2m and the surface are probably close enough. but the code does need to convert from theta (potential...
someone pointed out to me that the bottom *face* of the first row of cells is the model surface, but theta is computed on cell centers, which are halfway up...
i don't believe that DART itself requires that the vertical value for VERTISSURFACE be in meters. i think it's ignored. WRF and then MPAS were then free to require that...
how i remember it is that originally if a location was marked as VERTISSURFACE, the actual vertical value was undefined (meaning unused, not specified as needing to be set, etc)....
i think it was CM1, not bgrid.
the original code for this converter was based on a data dump program distributed with the ncep bufr libraries. it would be interesting to know if the current version of...
what would happen with WRF files that did have 0 as the projection type integer? would those still work?
just for reference, i looked up some older wrfinput_d01 files from CONUS runs and they use map projection 1. so maybe this change wouldn't break anything.
yes - the conus runs i usually saw were using a lambert projection, not straight lat/lon. plotted on a lat/lon grid, the area was a section of a wedge, not...
