[ecco-support] Vertical grid in ECCOv4 r2

[Munday, Dave]

Hi folks,

I’ve been looking into using ECCOv4 to provide stratification for a restoring condition at the northern boundary of a Southern Ocean model. I want a climatology so that I can run the other model for a long time and the interp_climatology fields that I found on the ftp site look ideal.

In poking around, however, I noticed that ECCOv4 uses rstar coordinates, but that all of the fields give the same depth in the output files. Is this because the interp_climatology has been averaged back on to that vertical grid? Or do I need to worry about the actual vertical locations of the temperature/salinity points?

Many thanks,

Dave
