Cloud Pressure Subset

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5439/1905817

File type abbreviation: cldpres

The cloud pressure-level subset category contains the same variables extracted from the raw wrfout files as the cld subset. The difference is that the cldpres data are interpolated to pressure levels as listed in Table 20.
