Description

Dear @wesselb,

I have one question about the high-resolution model.

The geopotential (z) is entered in the batch as a matrix(lat,lon). With this in mind, why do we introduce these two individual values of Z in the model? What latitude/longitude are they associated with?, How were these values calculated/obtained?

model = AuroraHighRes(
# Use manually downloaded and regridded static variables.
surf_stats={"z": (-3.270407e03, 6.540335e04)},
)

Thank you very much for solving this question.

Research direction

Start with the AuroraHighRes entry point and trace how surf_stats['z'] is consumed for the high-resolution model. Review the related examples or documentation for the manually downloaded and regridded static variables; done means documenting what the two z values represent, their latitude/longitude association, and how they were obtained.
