PT2Theta {aiRthermo}

Potential Temperature from pressure and temperature

Description

This function calculates the potential temperature from given temperature and pressure.

Usage

PT2Theta(P, Temp, w = 0, consts = export_constants())

Arguments

P

A vector with pressure values (Pa).

Temp

A vector with temperature values (K).

w

A vector with mixing ratio values (kg/kg). Default value 0.

consts

The constants defined in aiRthermoConstants data are necessary.

Value

This function returns a vector with potencial temperature. Mixing ratio is only used to correct the value of c_p, not to calculate a moist adiabatic evolution.
