Hello all, I just wanted to ask if someone knows the vertical resolution of the data? I found a poster where it is written the data are provided in 1 km resolution. Is this right or are the data provided at constant pressure levels as usual meteorological models provide?

It means that level 59 corresponds to the level adjacent to the ground. Am I correct? This information should be provided more clearly since surface variables like the skin friction or snow fall are probably only influenced by the first few levels, i.e. until the levels corresponding to the boundary layer height
