Tower height information in the NCAR-NEON framework

[yan Chen]

Hi CESM Team,

I am using the NCAR-NEON framework to run site-level simulations, and I was wondering whether the framework includes site-specific tower height information. If so, where is this information stored or specified?

I have examined the NEON surface data files, but they do not appear to contain tower height information. I would appreciate it if you could let me know whether tower height is included elsewhere in the NCAR-NEON framework or specified through another input file or configuration.

The tower height information is the variable ZBOT in the datm forcing file.

double ZBOT(time, lat, lon) ;
ZBOT:units = "m" ;
ZBOT:_FillValue = -9999. ;
ZBOT:long_name = "observational height" ;
ZBOT:mode = "time-dependent" ;
