isentropic_interpolation#

metpy.calc.isentropic_interpolation(levels, pressure, temperature, *args, vertical_dim=0, temperature_out=False, max_iters=50, eps=1e-06, bottom_up_search=True, **kwargs)#

Interpolate data in isobaric coordinates to isentropic coordinates.

Parameters

levels (array-like) – One-dimensional array of desired potential temperature surfaces
pressure (array-like) – One-dimensional array of pressure levels
temperature (array-like) – Array of temperature
args (array-like, optional) – Any additional variables will be interpolated to each isentropic level.
vertical_dim (int, optional) – The axis corresponding to the vertical in the temperature array, defaults to 0.
temperature_out (bool, optional) – If true, will calculate temperature and output as the last item in the output list. Defaults to False.
max_iters (int, optional) – Maximum number of iterations to use in calculation, defaults to 50.
eps (float, optional) – The desired absolute error in the calculated value, defaults to 1e-6.
bottom_up_search (bool, optional) – Controls whether to search for levels bottom-up (starting at lower indices), or top-down (starting at higher indices). Defaults to True, which is bottom-up search.

Returns

list – List with pressure at each isentropic level, followed by each additional argument interpolated to isentropic coordinates.
