ERA5 in model levels or pressure levels?

Post by Charlie »

Is possible to use ERA5 in model levels in hysplit? or is it only possible to use ERA5 in pressure levels?
I would prefer to use data with a high number of vertical levels as ERA5 in model levels (132 levels) instead of pressure levels (32 levels)

Thanks a lot

Currently the converter will only handle pressure levels.
If you have the inclination to help modify the converter (era52arl.f) to handle the model levels we can provide some support for doing that.
