Vapor Input Mode
Specifies the data preparation input mode. The possible values are: Icon and Path.
In Forecast mode the selected steps of a given forecast can be used for data generation Icon mode a set of GRIB icons has to be specified in Vapor Input Data. If the mode is set to Period Path a period with a start and end date and constant time-step can be defined. In this case FLEXTRA Prepare tries to retrieve analysis fields from MARS whenever it is possible (for dates in the past) and uses forecast fields otherwise (for dates in the future).

VAPOR Surface Params
input data as a set of GRIB icons. It is available when Vapor Input Mode is Icon.
Vapor Surface Params
Specifies the list of The list of the surface parameters from the input GRIB data to be converted into VAPOR format. . The parameters are identified by their short names. The default value is an empty string.
...
Vapor Upper Params
The Specifies the list of the upper level parameters from the input GRIB data to be converted into VAPOR format. The parameters are identified by their short names. The default value is an empty string.
...
Vapor Vertical Grid Type
The Specifies the type of the vertical grid upper level data to be used in VAPOR. The possible values are: Layered and Regular.
If the type is set to Layered VAPOR expects an upper level parameter specifying the elevation of each atmospheric. Internally in VAPOR this parameter is called ELEVATION. The default value is Layered.
Vapor Elevation Param
The Specifies the name of the upper level GRIB parameter interpreted as the elevation of the upper levels. Available when Vapor Vertical Grid Type is Layered.
