The ht
and hu
variables for bathymetry use the actual vertical water column height in ACCESS-OM2-01, while variables like temp
have fixed st_ocean_edges
. To average along isobaths, I currently define a new bathymetric field, called ht_coarse
or hu_coarse
, that uses the NaNs in variables like temp
and u
to bin in isobaths.
We need to think about how/whether to incorporate the actual bathymetry in the binning here, and consider whether the current workaround is reasonable.
