- lair.meteorology.hypsometric(Tv=None, p1=None, p2=None, Z1=None, Z2=None, deltaz=None)[source]#
Hyposometric equation solver.
Z2 - Z1 = Rd * Tv * ln(p1/p2) / g
Input variables must be able to solve for the desired variable using the above equation without intermediate steps. All inputs must be in SI.
Tv : mean virtual temperature of layer (K) p1 : pressure at bottom of layer (Pa) p2 : pressure at top of layer (Pa) Z1 : geopotential height at bottom of layer (m) Z2 : geopotential height at top of layer (m) deltaz : thickness of layer (m)
Can be used to solve for any of the variables in the equation or deltaz.
