diffZF

Differentiate an F-grid field with respect to z.

---

Declaration

 du = diffZF(u,n=n)

Parameters

• u F-grid field with dimensions [Nx Ny Nz]
• n derivative order from 1 through 4 (default 1)

Returns

• du vertical derivative in the alternating F/G representation

Discussion

u must use the gridded layout [Nx Ny Nz]. Orders 1 through 4 are supported. Odd orders return a G-representation and even orders return an F-representation.

dudz = wvt.diffZF(u);
