WetEquivalentPotentialTemperature: WetEquivalentPotentialTemperature

In NCAR/Ranadu: Functions for use with RAF aircraft data files

WetEquivalentPotentialTemperature

Description

The wet-equivalent potential temperature (THETAQ)

Usage

WetEquivalentPotentialTemperature(P, AT, E = 0, w = 0)

Arguments

P	A numeric representing pressure in hPa
AT	A numeric representing air temperature in deg. C
E	A numeric representing water vapor pressure in hPa. Default is 0, and if E <= 0 then E is set to the equilibrium value for the calculation.
w	A numeric representing liquid water content in g/m^3. Default is 0.

Details

Wet-equivalent potential temperature is calculated from the pressure, air temperature, water vapor pressure, and liquid water content; see Paluch 1978.

Value

A numeric representing the wet-equivalent potential temperature in kelvin
