Expand description

Calculate equivalent potential temperature.

Equation from [“The Glossary of Meteorology”] (http://glossary.ametsoc.org/wiki/Equivalent_potential_temperature) online where the approximation of ignoring the “total water mixing ratio” is used since most of the time we do not have the necessary information to calculate that.

  • temperature - the initial temperature.
  • dew_point - the initial dew point.
  • pressure - the initial pressure.

Returns: The equivalent potential temperature.
