2d Params
Specifies the list of surface 2D parameters from the input data to be converted into VAPOR format. The parameters are identified by their short names. The default value is an empty string.

3d Params
Specifies the list of the upper level 3D parameters from the input data to be converted into VAPOR format. The parameters are identified by their short names. The default value is an empty string.
...
Specifies the type of the upper level 3D 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 a parameter specifying the elevation of each 3D level in the input data. This is typically the case for pressure or model level (η levels) input data.
For the Regular type the
atmospheric. Internally in VAPOR this parameter is called ELEVATION. The default value is Layered.
Vapor Elevation Param
Specifies the short name of the upper level 3D parameter interpreted as the elevation of the upper 3D levels. Available when Vapor Vertical Grid Type isLayered.
This parameter has to be either the height or the geopotential (z) of the levels. If geopotential is specified it is converted into metres by Metview for Vapor. The default value is z.

Please note that neither the height nor the geopotential of model levels are archived in MARS. It means that for model level data either of these has to be computed for Layered mode. These computations can be done internally in VAPOR Prepare by simply specifying z for Vapor Elevation Param. The computations can only be done if the input data contains temperature (t) and specific humidity (q) on model levels and geopotential (z) and logarithmic of surface pressure (lnsp) on the bottommost model level. |
Vapor Bottom Coordinate
The name of the upper level GRIB parameter interpreted as the elevation of the upper levels. Available when Vapor Vertical Grid Type is Layered.
