DESIRE
DESIRE is the value of the output vertical coordinate variable
to which the input variables should be interpolated. For example,
to interpolate the input variables to the PV surface PV = 1.5 PVU,
DESIRE should be set equal to 0.0000015.
DESIRE and GDOUTL are specified separately because GEMPAK requires
vertical levels in grid files to be integers. For example, by
convention, for the PV surface PV = 1.5 PVU, an output grid level
of 0.0000015 is not allowed. By convention, one could specify
this level as GDOUTL = 15.
