Some of us in MMM are looking at RUC2 data for the 1998 warm season. In our particular archive (in NCAR Mass Storage under /RAPDMG/AWC/), the model analyses contain several 3D grib fields, including Potential Vorticity. Was this PV diagnosed at FSL? And if so, how was it calculated? The grib files also have "[m^2/s/kg]" as PV units. I was wondering how PV was calculated, since these units were not what I expected (isn't there a K in the numerator?). Maybe these PV fields were post-processed by whomever created this RAP Mass Storage archive, and I am barking up the wrong tree. Sorry if this is the case! Thanks,
