add_pressure_to_height

metpy.calc.add_pressure_to_height(height, pressure)

Calculate the height at a certain pressure above another height.

This assumes a standard atmosphere [NOAA1976].

Parameters

• height (pint.Quantity) – Height level

• pressure (pint.Quantity) – Pressure above height level

Returns

pint.Quantity – The corresponding height value for the pressure above the height level

Examples

>>> from metpy.calc import add_pressure_to_height
>>> from metpy.units import units
>>> add_pressure_to_height(1000 * units.meters, 100 * units.hPa)
<Quantity(1.96117548, 'kilometer')>
