MARS/Dissemination
Specifies the type of horizontal level.
levtype=<value> |
|---|
The levtype value has direct implications on valid levelist values. Common values are: model level (ml), pressure level (pl), surface (sfc), potential vorticity (pv), potential temperature (pt) and depth (dp).
Examples:
levtype=sfc # surface levtype=surface # surface levtype=pl # DEFAULT pressure levels levtype=pt # potential vorticity level |
Note that ocean data in MARS is archived with levtype=dp, and wave data is archived with levtype=sfc.
