Re: Divergence

Not sure what you want.

The units of divergence are 1/sec

--
Embedded in the long_name ... units are m/s
       float uvel ( time, lev, lat, lon )
          long_name :	ZONAL WIND (U)                          (M/Sec 
        )
       float vvel ( time, lev, lat, lon )
          long_name :	MERIDIONAL WIND (V)                     (M/Sec 
        )
       float umes ( time, lev, lat, lon )
          long_name :	SPECIFIC HUMIDITY                       (No Dim 
        )
If the largest values of 'umes' are (say) 20 then the
units are g/kg; if the largest values are (say) 0.002
they are kg/kg (ie unitless)
====
The code you sent indicates this already
u   = f->uvel(0,0,:,:) ; m/s
v   = f->vvel(0,0,:,:) ; m/s
q   = f->umes(0,0,:,:) ; kg/kg
dv  = uv2dvG(u,v)      ; divergence - gaussian grid
