(heights, temperature)[source]¶ Calculate the dry static energy of parcels.
This function will calculate the dry static energy following the first two terms of equation 3.72 in [Hobbs2006].
Notes
- \(T\) is temperature
- \(z\) is height
Parameters: - heights (array-like) – Atmospheric height
- temperature (array-like) – Atmospheric temperature
Returns: pint.Quantity – The dry static energy
