equivalent_potential_temperature
(pressure, temperature)[source]¶ Calculate equivalent potential temperature.
This calculation must be given an air parcel’s pressure and temperature. The implementation uses the formula outlined in [Hobbs1977] pg.78-79.
Parameters: - pressure (pint.Quantity) – Total atmospheric pressure
- temperature (pint.Quantity) – The temperature
Returns: pint.Quantity – The corresponding equivalent potential temperature of the parcel
Notes
\[\Theta_e = \Theta e^\frac{L_v r_s}{C_{pd} T}\]
