mixed_parcel
Calculate the properties of a parcel mixed from a layer.
Determines the properties of an air parcel that is the result of complete mixing of a given atmospheric layer.
pressure (pint.Quantity) – Atmospheric pressure profile
pint.Quantity
temperature (pint.Quantity) – Atmospheric temperature profile
dewpoint (pint.Quantity) – Atmospheric dewpoint profile
parcel_start_pressure (pint.Quantity, optional) – Pressure at which the mixed parcel should begin (default None)
height (pint.Quantity, optional) – Atmospheric heights corresponding to the given pressures (default None)
bottom (pint.Quantity, optional) – The bottom of the layer as a pressure or height above the surface pressure (default None)
depth (pint.Quantity, optional) – The thickness of the layer as a pressure or height above the bottom of the layer (default 100 hPa)
interpolate (bool, optional) – Interpolate the top and bottom points if they are not in the given data
pint.Quantity – Pressure of the mixed parcel
pint.Quantity – Temperature of the mixed parcel
pint.Quantity – Dewpoint of the mixed parcel
Notes
Only functions on 1D profiles (not higher-dimension vertical cross sections or grids). Since this function returns scalar values when given a profile, this will return Pint Quantities even when given xarray DataArray profiles.
Changed in version 1.0: Renamed p, dewpt, heights parameters to pressure, dewpoint, height
p
dewpt
heights
pressure
