I have two 2D model grids that have the same horizontal grid spacing and the same domain width (so the X-coordinate is the same between the two) and the same domain height, but different numbers of levels in the vertical. I wish to compare the values of some variables such as vertical motion between the two model grids. How do I do that?<br>

If the latter, use lats4d or write your own simple script to subset the larger file to make it appear as the first. If the levels are really different, you will need to perform a remapping from one vertical grid to another. This remap algorithm can vary from a simple linear interpolation in log-p to a conservative scheme that preserves monotonicity, all depends on your application. I usually perform this remapping outside grads.</div>
