plot ‘all’ Which fields to process.
‘all’ – all fields in WRF file
‘list’ – only fields as listed in the ‘fields’ variable.
‘all_list’ – all fields in WRF file and all fields listed in
the ‘fields’ variable.
Order has no effect, i.e., ‘all_list’ and ‘list_all’ are
similar.
If ‘list’ is used, a list of variables must be supplied
under ‘fields’. Use ‘list’ to calculate diagnostics.
fields Fields to plot. Only used if ‘list’ was used in the ‘plot’
variable.
&interp
interp_method 0 0 - sigma levels,
-1 - code defined "nice" height levels,
1 - user defined height or pressure levels
interp_levels Only used if interp_method=1
Supply levels to interpolate to, in hPa (pressure) or km
(height). Supply levels bottom to top.
extrapolate .false. Extrapolate the data below the ground if interpolating
to either pressure or height.
Available diagnostics:
cape - 3d cape
cin - 3d cin
mcape - maximum cape
mcin - maximum cin
clfr - low/middle and high cloud fraction
dbz - 3d reflectivity
max_dbz - maximum reflectivity
geopt - geopotential
height - model height in km
lcl - lifting condensation level
lfc - level of free convection
pressure - full model pressure in hPa
rh - relative humidity
rh2 - 2m relative humidity
theta - potential temperature
tc - temperature in degrees C
tk - temperature in degrees K
td - dew point temperature in degrees C
td2 - 2m dew point temperature in degrees C
