How to calculate vertical eddy energy flux?

#1 Unread post by osean »

Hi All
I am attempting to calculate vertical eddy energy flux (<w'p'>) from my ROMS outputs.
One trouble I am facing now is how to calculate pressure (p) that is needed for calculating the flux from output variables in roms_avg.nc or roms_his.nc
Of course I would then need to interpolate to have w and p at the same vertical levels... but that's after getting p
I don't think I have pressure as an output variable, nor does the diagnostics give an option to calculate this flux...
Appreciate any help!
Cheers
