bunkers_storm_motion

metpy.calc.bunkers_storm_motion(pressure, u, v, heights)[source]

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
