@JoshLovesFun Do you mean 'sigma' level?

@weiwangncar In this case, it is actually pressure levels. Because the specific dataset that this Vtable is targeting is the ERA5 data in the climate data store that has already been regridded to pressure levels from the native hybrid-sigma levels. So thinking about it more, this Vtable should be called "Vtable.ERA5.pl".
If I work with the native ERA5 model data in the future, I could make a "Vtable.ERA5.native"
I think the native ERA5 data is a bit more difficult to download and use, but I haven't tried it. I think most user's would get the pressure level data.

I was able to use the existing ECMWF table with the new changes and it worked for me, not sure why it happened though @JoshLovesFun |
Both this table and the existing table should effectively be identical for ERA5 data. I would think neither table would work as we want it to work for the new ECMWF version though. |
that makes more sense thank you for clarifying |
I have made a new ERA5 Vtable using the Vtable.ECMWF as a template. I have not made any changes that should make this Vtable.ERA5 function differently from the current Vtable.ECMWF. I have just made some clarifications and added some comments.
This Vtable.ERA5 is needed, because it will diverge from the Vtable.ECMWF when the Vtable.ECMWF is updated based on the new changes to ECMWF: #264
I have tested it, and it worked successfully. Attached are my Ungrib logs.
