Re: interpolation from hybrid coordinates to pressure levels

The file contains no hybrid coefficients. It contains
numbers for each hybrid level. These are useless for
interpolation to constant ressure levels..

ncl-talk has no REMO files available to examine.
If you send a REMO files (grib or netCDF) include
another file with the actualy hybrid coefficients on it.

ftp ftp.cgd.ucar.edu

cd incoming
put REMO.{grb,nc}
put REMO_hybrid,{grb,nc}
quit
Then send email to ncl-talk@ucar.edu stating the names
of the files. Please do not reply or cc me.
Cheers

I have REMO data and wonder how to do the interpolation. Expecially I am not sure how to define variables such as "PS", "hyam", "hybm" as shown in the below:
