Dear Grads-user,
I am trying to calculate vertical integrated moisture convergence from our MM5 model output.I have written a script for it.But it is not working.I am getting the picture but it is not the right one.
'open domain3.ctl'
'set map 1 1 9'
'set gxout shaded'
'set t 25'
'define qu=q*u'
'define qv=q*v'
'define qq = -hdivg(qu,qv)'
'd vint(prs(z=3)/100.,qq,200)'
Please suggest me to calculate this correctly. I have pressure level MM5 model output with following variables.
ps 0 99 pstar (Pa)
pslv 0 99 sea level prs (mb)
u 20 99 u wind (m/s)
v 20 99 v wind (m/s)
q 20 99 mixing ratio (kg/kg)
z 20 99 height AGL (m)
td 20 99 dewpoint temp (C)
rh 20 99 rel humidity (%)
prs 20 99 pressure (Pa)
I am also in doubt which of the above pressure variable should use to calculate moisture convergence.
Thanking you.
Regards
Satyaban
