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 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.

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. bottom_p > top_p

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.
