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 (array-like) – Pressure from sounding
• u (array-like) – U component of the wind
• v (array-like) – V component of the wind
• heights (array-like) – 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
