potential_temperature_average(T_top, P_top, T_bottom, P_bottom)[source]

Potential temp average calculation

Parameters:

  • T_top (ndarray) – Temperature at higher height. Used in the approximation of potential temperature derivative

  • T_bottom (ndarray) – Temperature at lower height. Used in the approximation of potential temperature derivative

  • P_top (ndarray) – Pressure at higher height. Used in the approximation of potential temperature derivative

  • P_bottom (ndarray) – Pressure at lower height. Used in the approximation of potential temperature derivative

Returns:

ndarray – Average of potential temperature between top and bottom levels
