lair.meteorology

Meteorological calculations.

Inspired by AOS 330 at UW-Madison with Grant Petty.

Note

It would be nice to be able to wrap these funtions with pint - however, because I input both numpy and xarray arrays, this will not work. Waiting for xarray-contrib/pint-xarray#143 For now, we will assume all inputs are in SI units.
