bunkers_storm_motion

metpy.calc.bunkers_storm_motion(pressure, u, v, heights)

Calculate the Bunkers right-mover and left-mover storm motions and sfc-6km mean flow.

Uses the storm motion calculation from [Bunkers2000].

Parameters

• pressure (pint.Quantity) – Pressure from sounding

• u (pint.Quantity) – U component of the wind

• v (pint.Quantity) – V component of the wind

• heights (pint.Quantity) – Heights from sounding

Returns

• right_mover (pint.Quantity) – U and v component of Bunkers RM storm motion

• left_mover (pint.Quantity) – U and v component of Bunkers LM storm motion

• wind_mean (pint.Quantity) – U and v component of sfc-6km mean flow
