height_to_pressure_std¶
-
metpy.calc.height_to_pressure_std(height)[source]¶ Convert height data to pressures using the U.S. standard atmosphere [NOAA1976].
The implementation inverts the formula outlined in [Hobbs1977] pg.60-61.
- Parameters
height (
pint.Quantity) – Atmospheric height- Returns
pint.Quantity– The corresponding pressure value(s)
Notes
\[p = p_0 e^{\frac{g}{R \Gamma} \text{ln}(1-\frac{Z \Gamma}{T_0})}\]
