Hello,

I run fv3jedi\_convertstate.x to convert FV3 RESTART files from [C784, L127] resolution to [C96, L64] resolution. The produced [C96, L64] RESTART files seem only horizontally interpolated from the first 64 model levels of the [C784, L127] RESTART files.

I wonder if fv3jedi\_convertstate.x performs vertical interpolation in the conversion? Or something is wrong with my YAML settings (see attached screenshot below)?

Thanks.  
Bo
