Class VTfromExistingData

java.lang.Object

ucar.unidata.geoloc.vertical.VerticalTransformImpl

ucar.unidata.geoloc.vertical.VTfromExistingData

All Implemented Interfaces:

VerticalTransform

public class VTfromExistingData
extends VerticalTransformImpl

This implements a VerticalTransform using an existing 3D variable. This is a common case when the 3D pressure or height field is stored in the file.
