met_prof

Extract vertical profile from meteorological data.

# calling met_prof
$ ./met_prof  <ctl> <prof.tab> <met0> [<met1> ...]

The required arguments are:

  • ctl: The file containing the control parameters.
  • prof.tab: The output file in which the profile data should be stored.
  • \<met0> [\<met1> ...]: The meteorological input data.

Calling met_prof and creating a 1 km resolution verical profile from a global ERA5 data sample of 1° x 1° would look like as follows:

# Calling met_map
$./met_prof - prof_era5_2017_01_08_17_1_1.tab era5_2017_01_08_17.nc PROF_LON0 -180 PROF_LON1 180\
    PROF_LAT0 -90 PROF_LAT1 90 PROF_DLON 1 PROF_DLAT 1 PROF_Z0 0 PROF_Z1 25 PROF_DZ 1

The optional control parameters required are listed as follows:

parameter purpose default
PROF_Z0 Altitude range start [km] -999
PROF_Z1 Altitude range end [km] -999
PROF_DZ Altitude interval [km] -999
PROF_LON0 Longitude range start 0
PROF_LON1 Longitude range end 0
PROF_DLON Longitude interval -999
PROF_LAT0 Latitude range start 0
PROF_LAT1 Latitude range end 0
PROF_DLAT Latitude interval -999
