getztop

Module:

File: PBL_DRV.f

Summary: getztop computes the value of ztop which is the height in meters of the first GCM layer from the surface. This subroutine only needs to be called when the BL fields require initialization. This form for z1 = zgs + zs1 (in terms of GCM parameters) yields an average value for zs1. The quantity theta was computed on the assumption of zs1=200 m from the original 9-layer model (actually was misconstrued as z1 = 200m when it should have been zs1 = 200m) and is then applied to all vertical resolutions.
