wet_bulb_temperature¶
- metpy.calc.wet_bulb_temperature(pressure, temperature, dewpoint)¶
Calculate the wet-bulb temperature using Normand’s rule.
This function calculates the wet-bulb temperature using the Normand method. The LCL is computed, and that parcel brought down to the starting pressure along a moist adiabat. The Normand method (and others) are described and compared by [Knox2017].

Notes
Since this function iteratively applies a parcel calculation, it should be used with caution on large arrays.
