Vertical grid generation

[Kemal]

Hello Michael,

I am comparing WRF against MPAS and would like to set the vertical grid in MPAS similar to that in WRF. How can I do that? I wrote a program using the snipping the code given in src/core_init_atmosphere/mpas_init_atm_cases.F file to understand how the vertical grid is generated, but my vertical grid is created with a constant layer depth within the model depth and there are other locations that the model is stretching to what is prepared using init_atmosphere_model. I can dig it further to find out where and how it is done, but there may be other routines that I might miss and can make a mistake. it would be much more productive if you would kindly let me know how I can generate my own vertical grid in MPAS similar to that in the WRF model that I am generating. I would appreciate your help. Thank you.

Kemal.
