pyAtmosThermo Documentation

This library allows calculation of moist atmospheric thermodynamic quantities.

For example, the following snippet will calculate moist static energy from mixing ratio of 0.001 kg/kg, 298 Kelvin, and 200 meters height. Thus, MSE has the value 304161.6 J/kg.

import atmos_thermo
h = atmos_thermo.h_from_r_T_z(0.001, 298, 200)

This code calculates the saturation vapor pressure and produces 3533.7 Pa.

e_saturation = atmos_thermo.esat_from_T(300)

All functions are designed around using numpy arrays transparently, and using numpy arrays is vastly faster than passing in values one by one.
