geocat.comp.skewt_params.get_skewt_vars#

geocat.comp.skewt_params.get_skewt_vars(p, tc, tdc, pro)#

This function processes the dataset values and returns a string element which can be used as a subtitle to replicate the styles of NCL Skew-T Diagrams.

Parameters

p (pint.Quantity) – Pressure level input from dataset
tc (pint.Quantity) – Temperature for parcel from dataset
tdc (pint.Quantity) – Dew point temperature for parcel from dataset
pro (pint.Quantity) – Parcel profile temperature converted to degC

Returns

joined (str) – A string element with the format “Plcl=<value> Tlcl[C]=<value> Shox=<value> Pwat[cm]=<value> Cape[J]=<value>” where:

Cape - Convective Available Potential Energy [J]
Pwat - Precipitable Water [cm]
Shox - Showalter Index (stability)
Plcl - Pressure of the lifting condensation level [hPa]
Tlcl - Temperature at the lifting condensation level [C]
