Package ucar.unidata.geoloc.vertical

Class AtmosSigma

java.lang.Object

ucar.unidata.geoloc.vertical.VerticalTransformImpl

ucar.unidata.geoloc.vertical.AtmosSigma

All Implemented Interfaces:

VerticalTransform

public class AtmosSigma
extends VerticalTransformImpl

Create a 3D height(z,y,x) array using the CF formula for "atmospheric sigma vertical coordinate".

pressure(x,y,z) = ptop + sigma(z)*surfacePressure(x,y)
