Some users are interested on the height of the different model levels. This Python script will allow you to compute the geopotential on each one. The starting point is the geopotential and the pressure (z and lnsp) on the surface.
For this use case, you need to retrieve in grib format both temperature (t) and Specific humidity (q) for each model level. Besides, you need both geopotential (z) and logarithm of surface pressure (lnsp) for model level = 1.
