Detailed Description

Physics calculations with defined constants

This class contains various physics calculations, implemented as class
methods, which use defined physical constants. It can be subclassed with
different constants to suit processing of data related to models with
constants defined otherwise.

Member Function Documentation

barom_lapse0_gp()

palmmeteo.library.PalmPhysics.barom_lapse0_gp	(		cls,
			gp0,
			p,
			p0,
			t0
	)

Converts geopotential based on pressure using barometric equation

barom_lapse0_pres()

palmmeteo.library.PalmPhysics.barom_lapse0_pres	(		cls,
			p0,
			gp,
			gp0,
			t0
	)

Converts pressure based on geopotential using barometric equation

barom_ptn_pres()

palmmeteo.library.PalmPhysics.barom_ptn_pres	(		cls,
			p0,
			z,
			t0
	)

PALM's barometric_formula( z, t_0, p_0 )

The calculation is based on the assumption of a polytropic atmosphere
and neutral stratification, where the temperature lapse rate is g/cp.

exner()

palmmeteo.library.PalmPhysics.exner	(		cls,
			p
	)

Exner function

exner_inv()

palmmeteo.library.PalmPhysics.exner_inv	(		cls,
			p
	)

Reciprocal of the Exner function

rho_air_ideal_gas()

palmmeteo.library.PalmPhysics.rho_air_ideal_gas	(		cls,
			p,
			pt
	)

Air density according to ideal gas law from PALM's function
ideal_gas_law_rho_pt( p, t )
