-
metpy.calc.pressure_to_height_std(pressure)[source]¶ Convert pressure data to height using the U.S. standard atmosphere [NOAA1976].
The implementation uses the formula outlined in [Hobbs1977] pg.60-61.
- Parameters
pressure (
pint.Quantity) – Atmospheric pressure- Returns
pint.Quantity– Corresponding height value(s)
Notes
\[Z = \frac{T_0}{\Gamma}[1-\frac{p}{p_0}^\frac{R\Gamma}{g}]\]
