wz_to_w

The wz_to_w filter converts geometric vertical velocity (provided in m/s) to vertical velocity in pressure coordinates (Pa/s). This filter needs to follow a source that provides geometric vertical velocity. Geometric vertical velocity is removed by the filter and pressure vertical velocity is added.

input:
  pipe:
    - source: # mars, grib, netcdf, etc.
      # source attributes here
      # ...
      # Must load geometric vertical velocity

    - wz_to_w:
        wz: wz  # Name of geometric vertical velocity (input) variable
        x: z    # Name of pressure vertical velocity (output) variable
