[RegCNET] Re:about vertical velocity

[moetasim]

Hi,

Since RegCM works with hydrostatic approximation so it doesn't take into 
account the vertical acceleration and hence the vertical velocity. This is 
generally true because other then thunderstorms/convection, atmosphere is in 
hydrostatic balance. 
The non-hydrostatic mode of RegCM3 is not yet developed so vertical velocity 
is not used as prognostic variable.

 Thanks a lot.
