[ferret_users] HYCOM output in Z coordinates



Hi friends,

I`m working with the HYCOM ocean model and I`d like to manage the temperature in Z coordinates. I dont know if a simple linear interpolation is the best method since a temperature represent a entire isopycnal layer. For example, suppose it has a isopycnal  layer with thickness of  5 meters and temperature of  20ºC and the below isopycnal layer has a thickness of 20 meters and temperature of  18ºC and it wants to represent de temperature to each one meter. What I doing: I take the middle of the layer as the position of the temperature and then make the linear interpolation to eache meter. Mainly for those that use HYCOM and FERRET, is this the best way to represent the hycom`s output in Z coordinates? If not, how can I do a different method in the FERRET?

 

Thanks a lot for all

 

Jean
