Crate sounding_analysis

Functions and data types for analyzing soundings from the sounding-base crate.

Purpose

Provides analysis capabilities for the sounding-base crate.

Structs

Analysis	Convenient package for commonly requested analysis values.
Layer	A layer in the atmosphere described by the values at the top and bottom.
Parcel	Variables defining a parcel as used in parcel analysis.
ParcelAnalysis	Parcel analysis, this is a way to package the analysis of a parcel.
ParcelProfile	Hold profiles for a parcel and it's environment.

Enums

AnalysisError	Error type for the crate.
ParcelIndex	Indexes from a parcel analysis of a sounding.
ProfileIndex	Sounding indexes calculated from the sounding and not any particular profile.

Functions

cold_surface_temperature_layer	Assuming a warm layer aloft given by warm_layers, measure the cold surface layer.
dcape	Downdraft CAPE.
dendritic_snow_zone	Find the dendtritic growth zones throughout the profile. It is unusual, but possible there is more than one.
equivalent_potential_temperature	Given a sounding, calculate a profile of the equivalent potential temperature.
freezing_levels	Find the freezing/melting levels below 500 hPa.
hail_growth_zone	Find the hail growth zones throughout the profile. It is very unusual, but possible there is more than one.
haines	The Haines index for fire weather
hydrolapse	Get the hydrolapse in (kg/kg)/km
inversions	Get all inversion layers up to a specified pressure.
kindex	The K-index
layer_agl	Get a layer that has a certain thickness, like 3km or 6km.
lift_parcel	Lift a parcel for a convective parcel analysis.
linear_interpolate	Interpolate values given two parallel vectors of data and a target value.
linear_interpolate_sounding	Interpolate values from the vertical sounding using pressure as the primary coordinate.
max_temperature_in_layer	Maximum temperature in a layer.
max_temperature_in_profile	Maximum temperature aloft.
max_wet_bulb_in_layer	Maximum wet bulb temperature in a layer.
max_wet_bulb_in_profile	Maximum wet bulb temperature aloft.
mix_down	Descend a parcel dry adiabatically.
mixed_layer_parcel	Create a mixed layer parcel.
most_unstable_parcel	Get the most unstable parcel.
potential_temperature	Given a sounding, calculate a profile of the potential temperature.
precipitable_water	Precipitable water (mm)
pressure_layer	Get a layer defined by two pressure levels. bottom_p > top_p
pressure_parcel	Get the parcel at a specific pressure.
relative_humidity	Given a sounding, calculate a profile of relative humidity.
sfc_based_inversion	Get a surface based inversion.
sfc_to_level_temperature_lapse_rate	Get a profile of the average lapse rate from the surface to *, or the level on the y axis.
surface_parcel	Get a surface parcel.
swet	The SWeT (Severe Weather Threat) index
temperature_lapse_rate	Get a profile of the lapse rate between layers in °C / km.
theta_e_lapse_rate	Get the lapse rate of equivalent potential temperature in °K / km.
total_totals	The Total Totals index
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.
wet_bulb	Given a sounding, calculate a profile of wet bulb temperature.
wet_bulb_zero_levels	Find the wet bulb zero levels

Type Definitions

Layers	A list of layers.
Level	A level in the atmosphere is described by a DataRow from a sounding.
Levels	A list of levels.
Result	Shorthand for results.
