Add diagnostic height in ERA5 download tool #498

Closed biglimp closed 1 year ago

biglimp commented 1 year ago

Add capabilities to adjust ERA5 data to specific forcing height. @sunt05 , what should the default height and range for this variable be?

sunt05 commented 1 year ago

The default value used in SuPy is 100 m - the minimum value should be dependent on the mean building height while the max can be infinity.

So now, when we dont set hgt_agl_diag in gen_forcing_era5, we recalculate to 100 magl? min and max are just needed to set some limits in the tool. How about having a range between 2 and 500 meters?

That's correct.

Looks good to me.
