calc_bernoulli {meteoEVT}

Bernoulli function

Description

Calculates the Bernoulli function, i.e. total energy density, as sum of potential, kinetic and thermal energy density

Usage

calc_bernoulli(t_fld, u_fld, v_fld, w_fld, phi_fld)

Arguments

t_fld

temperature field [K]

u_fld

zonal velocity field [m/s]

v_fld

meridional velocity field [m/s]

w_fld

vertical velocity field [m/s]

phi_fld

geopotential height [gpm]

Value

Bernoulli function field [m^2/s^2]
