Vertical Computational Grid

v102

14 soil layers (0.01, 0.04, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0, 8.0, and 12.0 m) but the soil moisture profile is computed only over the rooting depth, from 0.2 (rocks) to 8 m (tropical forest) according to the land cover type, while the soil temperature is computed down to a depth of 12 m.

What is this? This is a vertical computational grid using a Depth coordinate system with 14 vertical levels spanning 12 m. The top layer is 0.01 m thick and the bottom layer is 4 m thick.

Vertical Coordinate System

Depth
Vertical distance below a reference surface (e.g., sea surface, land surface).
