wind components at model level

Thank you for providing access to the ICON model historical data—it's been incredibly valuable to our work.

We've noticed the data available at https://opendata.dwd.de/weather/nwp/icon/grib/00/u/ includes wind components at model levels, whereas the .zarr dataset contains data at pressure levels. Could you confirm if this data is interpolated from model to pressure levels during your preprocessing?

We're grateful for your support and assistance.

Hi, the open data from the DWD server also includes the wind components at pressure levels, so we just use those directly. The Zarrs here are not preprocessed in any way other than combining the data from grib to Zarr, we don't do any interpolation or other preprocessing.
