Isentropic surfaces are surfaces of constant potential temperature.
Actually, I think one could create a function
function vinth2isentropic(
datai : numeric,
hbcofa[*] : numeric,
hbcofb[*] : numeric,
isentropic[*] : numeric, ; specified by user.
psfc : numeric,
intyp[1] : integer,
p0[1] : numeric,
ii[1] : integer,
kxtrp[1] : logical
T
)
x_Isentropic = vinth2isentropic(X,.,isentropic,.,T)
Where T would be Temperature at the hybrid levels
(1) calculate the pressure at each hybrid level
(2) calculate the potential temperature at each hybrid level
(3) now one has X and potential temperature at each hybrid
level so, then interpolate the X to the desired
isentropic levels.
