update / solution:

For everyone having the same problem: my
<strong>
INT2LM setting is
<code>
irefatm = 2
</code>
</strong>
</p>
<p>
From looking into the source code it seems to me that that:
<br/>
<code>
reference_atmosphere_2
</code>
and thus
<code>
pref3
</code>
is used because of my INT2LM setting
<code>
irefatm = 2
</code>
</p>
<p>
I think the formula from the excel sheet and from the documentation are for the case
<code>
irefatm = 1
</code>
</p>
<p>
From the documentation I get the same as from the source code:
<br/>
<pre>
The new reference atmosphere is based on the temperature profile t0(z) = (t0sl-delta_t) + delta_t*exp(-z/h_scal), where z = hhl(k) is the height of a model grid point.
</pre>
<br/>
From the source code
<code>
vgrid_refatm_utils.f90
</code>
/
<code>
reference_atmosphere_2
</code>
:
<br/>
<pre>
The base-state pressure at main levels is computed from the analytically integrated hydrostatic equation, assuming that the height at full levels (zhfl) is the arithmetic mean of the adjacent half levels.
</pre>
<br/>
which I interprete to be the equation
<code>
pref3
</code>
with
<code>
(hhl[,,1:60]+hhl[,,2:61])/2
</code>
instead of
<code>
vcoord
</code>
<br/>
When I did the analytical integration of the hydrostatic equation myself I got a different formula than pref3, but they give the same values :D so in short:
</p>
<p>
<strong>
My opionion: If
<code>
irefatm = 2
</code>
then
<code>
p_reference(z) = p0sl * exp( -g*h_scal/ R/t00 * log( (exp(z/h_scal)*t00 + delta_t)/(t00 + delta_t)) )
</code>
</strong>
<br/>
with the values from my earlier posts
