Detailed Description

Generates a mask indicating where mesh points with a vertical pressure coordinate lie above the surface of the Earth. The mask is set to 1 where data is above the Earth's surface and 0 otherwise.

Given a 3D height field containing the altitude of each point in meters above mean sea level, and a 2D height field corresponding to height in meters above mean sea level of the surface of the Earth, generate a mask that is 1 where the 3D point is on or above the surface of the Earth and 0 where it is below.

The name of the 3D height field is specified by the mesh_height_variable property. The name of the 2D height field containing elevation of the Earth's surface is specified by the surface_elevation_variable property.

The 3D mesh height field must be provided on input 0, and the 2D surface height field on input 1. Use the mask_names property to name the output mask. If more than one name is provided each name will reference a pointer to the mask. Consider using names of the form X_valid in which case the output is compatible with the teca_valid_value_mask and will be treated as missing values by down stream algorithms.

If the simulation does not provide the 3D height field, for simulations where the acceleration due to the Earth's gravity is assumed constant, teca_geopotential_height can generate the 3D height field.

The primary use case of this algorithm is when dealing with calculations on 3D meshes with a vertical pressure coordinate and there is a need to identify and treat specially the mesh points that are below the surface of the Earth. There are a number of alternatives available depending on the data. If your data has a _FillValue where data is below the surface then use teca_valid_value_mask instead of this algorithm. If your data has surface pressure field use teca_pressure_level_mask instead of this algorithm. If your dataset has surface temperature, and mean sea level pressure fields then use teca_surface_pressure to generate the surface pressure field and use teca_pressure_level_mask instead of this algorithm.
