Hi,
I have confusion regarding the height levels of the vertical profiles from tslist.

I have a station with elevation of 46.7 m as shown in timeseries output. From the vertical profile data, I also get the geopotential height for the first level as 46.7 m. Since geopotential height is defined at the grid centres, shouldn't its value have been more than 46.7? Otherwise it means it's coinciding with the surface..

Kindly help me in understanding this.
Regards
Neeldip
 
As it is now in the code, the geopotential height is at model full levels, which means that the first level is at the surface. This will change since version 4.2, to be released later in April.
