Module sounding_analysis::layers [−][src]
This module finds significant layers such as the dendritic snow growth zone, the hail growth zone, and inversions.
Structs
| Layer |
A layer in the atmosphere described by the values at the top and bottom. |
Functions
| cold_surface_temperature_layer |
Assuming a warm layer aloft given by |
| dendritic_snow_zone |
Find the dendtritic growth zones throughout the profile. It is unusual, but possible there is more than one. |
| hail_growth_zone |
Find the hail growth zones throughout the profile. It is very unusual, but possible there is more than one. |
| inversions |
Get all inversion layers up to a specified pressure. |
| layer_agl |
Get a layer that has a certain thickness, like 3km or 6km. |
| pressure_layer |
Get a layer defined by two pressure levels. |
| sfc_based_inversion |
Get a surface based inversion. |
| 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. |
