Currently when we pull groundwater stage data for stations from the model output, we just pull from Layer 3. Some obs gages, however, have elevations (screen interval depths) above or below that layer in the model. Also, if the model layers are updated, their relative elevations can change.
To add gage elevations we need to:
Determine that elevations of the gages we are using obs data from, and add that into either the obs processing scripts (preferred) or the obs MATLAB file (shortcut method).
Next we need to modify the postproc scripts to read the elevations of the gages, compare them to the model layer elevations at that cell, and then extract the stage data form the appropriate layer in the model.
It would be nice if the model layer used is then noted in the station info dataset and plotted with the data.
