Description
Hello, not sure if this is the best place for this question, but I'm wondering if there is any documentation on the basic approach used to interpret WRF model level output to a given height. Is it linear? Exponential? Log pressure level? I'm trying to read through the wrf_vinterp.f90 source code but can't quite piece it together.
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reading wrf_vinterp.f90, which the issue identifies as the implementation to understand. Trace how WRF model-level output is mapped to a requested height and determine whether the interpolation uses linear, exponential, or pressure-based calculations. Done means documenting that high-level approach clearly for users.
