add_pressure_to_height#
- metpy.calc.add_pressure_to_height(height, pressure)[source]#
Calculate the height at a certain pressure above another height.
This assumes a standard atmosphere [NOAA1976].
- Parameters:
height (
pint.Quantity
) – Height levelpressure (
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')>
