Value of g Someone asked if g (gravitational constant) was 9.8 in all the code. I did a grep on 9.8 on most of the source code (execpt the various quality control). g=9.8 is used everywhere (model, sgb, pgb, ssi, cycle) except in two programs which I happened to write. Anyways, g=9.81 m/s/s were used in, grib_mass_wt: computes mass weight variables in isentropic coordinates and grib_prs: computes pressure levels of isentropic coordinates
