Dear IDVers:
I am trying to interpolate variables from a WRF simulation to constant
pressure surfaces for used with IDV. I know that WPP performs this function,
but the output is in GRIB format and I want to calculate some non-standard
variables. So I'm trying to decide on the best course of action.
My questions:
1. Can IDV be supplied with a user-defined GRIB table to properly decode
my non-standard variables? If so, I may choose to edit the WPP program.
If not:
2. Can IDV read a netCDF file that contains data both in "WRF format" (with
data on model surfaces) as well as data on isobaric surfaces? If so,
what is the procedure? If not:
3. Should I write out the isobaric variable in a CF1 convention netCDF file?
Thanks,
-Eric
