model levels in grib files

[Ricardo Hallak]

Dan,

"d hgtprs(lev=700)"

should work, I guess.

I dump the grib files out to a control file using grib2ctl and go from there. To do this, I simply "d hgtprs(z=7)" or "d hgtprs(z=11)" or whatever z level I'm interested in. However, is there a way to plot a specific level without referring to Z? In short, I wrote my scripts to use on one specific set of grib files, but occasionally I will need to use my scripts on a different set of grib files which do not contain the same levels. So usually Z=7 would be equivalent to 850mb, but in my other set of grib files z=7 is actually equivalent to 250mb which is a big problem. Any workarounds or other ways to refer to the model levels or will I need a completely different set of scripts for my other grib files?
