pressure.height: Calculates atmospheric pressure from pressure at sea-level

In ilyamaclean/ecohydrotools: hydrogical modelling for ecological applications with R

Description

pressure.height applies a simple height adjustment to sea-level pressure data

Usage

pressure.height(psl = 101300, dem)

Arguments

psl	an optional single numeric value, raster, two-dimensional array or matrix of sea-level atmospheric pressures (Pa)
dem	a single numeric value, raster, two-dimensional array or matrix of elevations (m)

Details

Height adjustments are performed using a simplification of the ideal gas law, assuming 20°C for a standard atmosphere. If psl is not supplied, a typical mean value of sea-level pressure is assumed.

Value

a single numeric value, two-dimensional array or matrix of atmospheric pressure (Pa)

Examples

plot(pressure.height(dem = dtm100m))
