[][src]Function sounding_analysis::bourgouin_precip_type

pub fn bourgouin_precip_type(snd: &Sounding) -> Result<PrecipType>

Analyze a sounding using the Bourgouin technique for precipitation type.

Since the sounding generally doesn't come with information convective or stratiform and the amount of precipitation, this function can only determine the phase (ice or liquid) and whether it is likely to freeze once it reaches the surface (eg freezing rain). So all returned weather codes will assume convective or intermittent conditions (eg showers) and a light intensity. This is consistent with the observed behavior of Bufkit.
