10. INTERP_MASK : The name of the field to be used as an interpolation mask, alongwith the value within that field which signals masked points. A specification takes theform field(maskval), where field is the name of the field and maskval is a real value.Default value is no mask.11. INTERP_LAND_MASK : The name of the field to be used as an interpolation maskwhen interpolating to water points (determined by the static LANDMASK field), alongwith the value within that field which signals land points. A specification takes the formfield(maskval), where field is the name of the field and maskval is a real value. Defaultvalue is no mask.12. INTERP_WATER_MASK : The name of the field to be used as an interpolationmask when interpolating to land points (determined by the static LANDMASK field),along with the value within that field which signals water points. A specification takesthe form field(maskval), where field is the name of the field and maskval is a real value.Default value is no mask.13. FILL_MISSING : A real number specifying the value to be assigned to model gridpoints that received no interpolated value, for example, because of missing or incompletemeteorological data. Default value is 1.E20.14. Z_DIM_NAME : For 3-dimensional meteorological fields, a character string givingthe name of the vertical dimension to be used for the field on output. Default value isnum_metgrid_levels.15. DERIVED : Either yes or no, indicating whether the field is to be derived from otherinterpolated fields, rather than interpolated from an input field. Default value is no.16. FILL_LEV : The fill_lev keyword, which may be specified multiple times within atable section, specifies how a level of the field should be filled if that level does notalready exist. A generic value for the keyword takes the form DLEVEL:FIELD(SLEVEL),where DLEVEL specifies the level in the field to be filled, FIELD specifies the sourcefield from which to copy levels, and SLEVEL specifies the level within the source field touse. DLEVEL may either be an integer or the string all. FIELD may either be the nameof another field, the string const, or the string vertical_index. If FIELD is specified asconst, then SLEVEL is a constant value that will be used to fill with; if FIELD isspecified as vertical_index, then (SLEVEL) must not be specified, and the value of thevertical index of the source field is used; if DLEVEL is 'all', then all levels from the fieldspecified by the level_template keyword are used to fill the corresponding levels in thefield, one at a time. No default value.17. LEVEL_TEMPLATE : A character string giving the name of a field from which a listof vertical levels should be obtained and used as a template. This keyword is used inconjunction with a fill_lev specification that uses all in the DLEVEL part of itsspecification. No default value.<strong>WRF</strong>-NMM V3: User’s Guide 3-45
