temperature_from_potential_temperature#
- metpy.calc.temperature_from_potential_temperature(pressure, potential_temperature)#
Calculate the temperature from a given potential temperature.
Uses the inverse of the Poisson equation to calculate the temperature from a given potential temperature at a specific pressure level.
- Parameters
pressure (
pint.Quantity
) – Total atmospheric pressurepotential_temperature (
pint.Quantity
) – Potential temperature
- Returns
pint.Quantity
– Temperature corresponding to the potential temperature and pressure

Notes
Formula:
\[T = \Theta (P / P_0)^\kappa\]Examples
>>> from metpy.units import units >>> from metpy.calc import temperature_from_potential_temperature >>> # potential temperature >>> theta = np.array([ 286.12859679, 288.22362587]) * units.kelvin >>> p = 850 * units.mbar >>> T = temperature_from_potential_temperature(p, theta)
