In thunder: Computation and Visualisation of Atmospheric Convective Parameters

R call to C++ function for calculating thermo- and kinematic indices derived from atmospheric profiling.

Description

More details in the sounding_compute() function

Usage

sounding_default(
  pressure,
  altitude,
  temp,
  dpt,
  wd,
  ws,
  export_profile,
  accuracy,
  interpolate_step,
  meanlayer_bottom_top,
  storm_motion
)

Arguments

pressure	pressure [hPa]
altitude	altitude [meters]
temp	temperature [degree Celsius]
dpt	dew point temperature [degree Celsius]
wd	wind direction [azimuth in degrees]
ws	wind speed [knots]
export_profile	possibility to export interpolated profile on the levels defined in accuracy configuration
accuracy	accuracy of computations where 3 = high (slow), 2 = medium (recommended), 1 = low (fast)
interpolate_step	interpolation step to be used for vertical interpolation. Valid only if 'accuracy' is set to 3 (default is 5 m)
meanlayer_bottom_top	(optional) vector of length 2 for bottom and top heights used for computing parcel starting parameters; default: 0, 500
storm_motion	(optional) for moving storms only - one can define vector of length two with wind speed (m/s) and wind directions (degrees) that will be used to compute adjusted SRH parameters
