moist_static_energy
(heights, temperature, specific_humidity)[source]¶ Calculate the moist static energy of parcels.
This function will calculate the moist static energy following equation 3.72 in [Hobbs2006]. .. rubric:: Notes
- \(T\) is temperature
- \(z\) is height
- \(q\) is specific humidity
Parameters: - heights (array-like) – Atmospheric height
- temperature (array-like) – Atmospheric temperature
- specific_humidity (array-like) – Atmospheric specific humidity
Returns: pint.Quantity – The moist static energy
