A collection of parameters associated with a Pyrocumulonimbus Firepower Threshold (PFT) analysis. See pft or pft_analysis for details.

Fields

pft: GigaWatts

The fire power required to cause a pyrocumulonimbus in Gigawatts. This is not the power per unit area, but the total power.

theta_ml: Kelvin

The height weighted average potential temperature in the mixed layer.

q_ml: f64

The height weighted average specific humidity in the mixed layer.

p_top_ml: HectoPascal

The pressure at the top of the mixed layer.

p_fc: HectoPascal

The pressure at the bottom of the pyroCb, where free convection starts.

sp_curve: Vec<(HectoPascal, Celsius)>

Coordinates along the SP-curve suitable for plotting on a skew-t log-p chart.

theta_e_fc: Kelvin

The minimum equivalent potential temperature of the plume element required to initiate a pyrocumulonimbus cloud.
