You can change date, type, step, time, grid and area in the script, but make sure you use the same values in both blocks so that the two output files are synchronized. Later the calculation of geopotential will iterate through the date/time/step parameters, calculating values for multiple times.

Step2: Compute geopotential on model levels

This script was provided by Mark Jackson from Cambridge Environmental Research Consultants Ltd.

The Python script: EI_geopotential_on_ml_compute_v1.py

Example

First get the required data: 

python EI_geopotential_on_ml_getdata_v1.py

Outputs: A file 'tq_ml.nc' and a file 'zlnsp_ml.nc', both in the current working directory.
