Question about MPAS vertical levels (55 <nVertLevels>)

[lamizha]

Hello,

I am wondering what is the approxiamte pressure or height for the 55 vertical levels in MPAS. I know the model top is 30 km, but I cannot find any info of each level's pressure/height in input file (init.nc) and output file (history.nc).

Thank you!

if you look at the initial data for MPAS, you will find the variable 'zgrid', which is the height at MPAS layer interfaces.
