Module sounding_analysis::layers [−] [src]

This module finds significant layers such as the dendritic snow growth zone, the hail growth zone, and inversions.

Structs

A layer in the atmosphere described by the values at the top and bottom.

cold_surface_temperature_layer	Assuming a warm layer aloft given by warm_layers, measure the cold surface layer.
dendritic_snow_zone	Find the dendtritic growth zones throughout the profile. It is unusual, but possible there is more than one.
inversions	Get all inversion layers up 500 mb.
layer_agl	Get a layer that has a certain thickness, like 3km or 6km.
pressure_layer	Get a layer defined by two pressure levels. `bottom_p` > `top_p`
warm_temperature_layer_aloft	Assuming it is below freezing at the surface, this will find the warm layers aloft using the dry bulb temperature. Does not look above 500 hPa.
warm_wet_bulb_layer_aloft	Assuming the wet bulb temperature is below freezing at the surface, this will find the warm layers aloft using the wet bulb temperature. Does not look above 500 hPa.
