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