parcelState: State of a parcel

In aiRthermo: Atmospheric Thermodynamics and Visualization

State of a parcel

Description

The function calculates the state of a parcel for easier computations.

Usage

parcelState(Press, Temp, w = 0, consts = export_constants())

Arguments

Press	Value of pressure (Pa) of the parcel.
Temp	Value of temperature (K) of the parcel.
w	Value of mixing ratio (kg/kg) of the parcel.
consts	The constants defined in aiRthermoConstants data are necessary.

Value

This function returns a list including the following values:

pressure	Pressure value (Pa).
temperature	Temperature value (K).
mixingratio	Mixing ratio value (kg/kg).
theta	Potential temperature value (K).
virtualTemp	Virtual temperature value (K).
saturationMixingRatio	Saturation mixing ratio value (kg/kg).
