    "    This operator interpolates between different vertical hybrid levels. This include the preparation ",

    "    The vertical interpolation is based on the vertical integration of the hydrostatic equation with ",
    "    few adjustments. The basic tasks are the following one:",
    "    - at first integration of hydrostatic equation",
    "    - extrapolation of surface pressure",
    "    - Planetary Boundary-Layer (PBL) proutfile interpolation",
    "    - interpolation in free atmosphere",
    "    - merging of both proutfiles",
    "    - final surface pressure correction",

    "    troposhere. Therefore the total mass above a given reference level is conserved. As reference level",
    "    the geopotential height of the 400 hPa level is used. Near the surface the correction can affect ",
    "    the vertical structure of the PBL. Therefore the interpolation is done using the potential temperature. ",
    "    But in the free atmosphere above a certain n (n=0.8 defining the top of the PBL) the interpolation ",
    "    is done linearly. After the interpolation both proutfiles are merged. With the resulting ",
    "    temperature/pressure correction the hydrostatic equation is integrated again and adjusted to the ",
