mbslice - Subset variables at a given millibar level
SYNOPSIS
mbslice [ parameter=value ] [ inputfile outputfile ]
mbslice [ parameter=value ] [ inputfile ... directory ]
Parameters are: include_vars, mb_level,
name_ext.
DESCRIPTION
mbslice slices input datasets at a user-specified millibar level, creating output
datasets. Each variable to be sliced must have a dimension that is associated with a
variable with units equivalent to millibars. Nearest integer checking is used to match the
user-specified millibar level to what is actually contained in the input datasets.
PARAMETERS
- include_vars
- List of variables to include in the output subsets. If the list is prefixed with a minus
sign, the listed variables are excluded from the subsets. Wildcards * and ?
are allowed. The default is to include all variables.
- mb_level
- Millibar level at which to slice the input data. The valid range is [0, 1000]
millibars. The default is 500 millibars.
- name_ext
- String to append to the names of all variables included in the output subsets. For
example, if mb_level=500, then one might use the extension '_500'. The default is
blank, i.e., names are not extended.
