add_height_to_pressure#
- metpy.calc.add_height_to_pressure(pressure, height)#
Calculate the pressure at a certain height above another pressure level.
This assumes a standard atmosphere [NOAA1976].
- Parameters:
pressure (
pint.Quantity
) – Pressure levelheight (
pint.Quantity
) – Height above a pressure level
Examples
>>> from metpy.calc import add_height_to_pressure >>> from metpy.units import units >>> add_height_to_pressure(1000 * units.hPa, 500 * units.meters) <Quantity(941.953016, 'hectopascal')>
- Returns:
pint.Quantity
– Corresponding pressure value for the height above the pressure level
