: Summary of Procedural Functions
These functions are found in modules of the same name.
Thus, the theta
function is in the module theta
in this package. All positional inputs, unless otherwise stated, are
Numeric
arrays of any shape and size. Keyword inputs are
shown with their default value. Output units are given in the
"Description" column.

Function Arguments Description eice T, missing=1e+20 Calculate saturation vapor pressure over ice [hPa]. esat T, missing=1e+20 Calculate saturation vapor pressure over water [hPa]. press2alt P (or z), P0=None, T0=None, missing=1e+20 Calculate altitude from pressure (or vice versa). Keyword parameters P0
andT0
are surface pressure [hPa] and temperature [K], respectively.theta p, T, p0=1000.0, missing=1e+20 Calculate potential temperature [K]. Keyword parameter p0
is the reference pressure [hPa].vapor_press qty, missing=1e+20 Calculate vapor pressure [hPa]. Input qty
is a dictionary of atmospheric quantities. Keys that can be used by function include: 'esat', 'p', 'q', 'r', and 'RH'. Values corresponding to those keys areNumeric
arrays of those quantities.virt_temp r, T, missing=1e+20 Calculate virtual temperature [K].
