Computed in TM5 from orography, temperature, humidity, and pressure.
Details:
- Geo potential height (m) is constant in intervals [21,03], [03,09], [09,15], and [15,21] .
- Defined on half levels.
- Based on surface pressures in begin of interval.
Improvements required:
- pressure in mid of time interval
- full level is 'mid of layer' : pressure is mid of half level pressures,
but gph is not mid of half level gph's !
