Program press2fl
This program converts datasets from pressure coordinates to flight levels.
The input file must be an ECMWF file in NetCDF format with the coordinates press, lat, lon and time and four-dimensional parameters with the dimensions press, lat, lon and time. All four-dimensional parameters are converted from pressure coordinates to flight levels. A new NetCDF file with the coordinates flightlevel, lat, lon and time and four-dimensional parameters with corresponding dimensions is created.
Configuration file
The options for the execution of press2fl can be set in the configuration file press2fl.inp:
/usr/nfs/archive/ecmwf/nc/0801/ecmwf_08010112.nc ! input file bspfl/ecmwf_fl_08010112.nc ! output file 15 ! number of flight levels 280,290,300,310,320,330,340,350,360,370,380,390,400,410,420 ! list of flight levels
