met_zm

Extract zonal mean from meteorological data.

The calling sequence is:

# calling met_zm
$ ./met_zm  <ctl> <zm.tab> <met0> [<met1> ...]

The required arguments are: * ctl: The file containing the control parameters. * zm.tab: The output file where the zonal means are stored. * met0 [\<met1> ...]: The meteorological input files from which the zonal mean should be calculatd from.

Calling met_zm and creating a global zonal mean data with latitude band of 10 degree from ERA5 data would look like as follows:

# Calling met_zm
$./met_prof - zm_era5_2017_01_08_17_1_1.tab era5_2017_01_08_17.nc \
    ZM_DLAT 10  

The optional control parameters required are listed as follows:

parameter	purpose	default
ZM_Z0	Altitude range start [km]	-999
ZM_Z1	Altitude range end [km]	-999
ZM_DZ	Altitude interval [km]	-999
ZM_LON0	Longitude range start	-180
ZM_LON1	Longitude range end	180
ZM_LAT0	Latitude range start	-90
ZM_LAT1	Latitude range end	90
ZM_DLAT	Latitude interval	-999

Note: if ZM_DZ, ZM_Z0, ZM_Z1 are not defined, the output dimension of altitude will follow the meteorological data.
