virtual_temperature: Virtual Temperature

In aiRthermo: Atmospheric Thermodynamics and Visualization

Description

This function calculates the virtual temperature from given pressure and mixing ratio.

Usage

virtual_temperature(P, Temp, w, consts = export_constants())

Arguments

P	A vector with pressure values in Pa.
Temp	A vector with temperature values in Kelvin.
w	A vector with mixing ratio values in kg/kg.
consts	The constants defined in aiRthermoConstants data are necessary.

Value

This function returns a vector with virtual temperature values.
