- ProfileExtrapolation.standard_pressure(h: ndarray, T_0: float, P_0: float) ndarray#
Determine the standard pressure at a given height.
Method to compute the total atmopsheric pressure of an standard atmosphere at a given height.
The reference standard atmosphere is based on the United States Standard Atmosphere, 1976, in which the atmosphere is divided into seven successive layers showing linear variation with temperature.
- Parameters:
h (numpy.ndarray) – Height (km)
T_0 (float) – Surface temperature (K)
P_0 (float) – Surface pressure (hPa)
- Returns:
P – Pressure (hPa)
- Return type:
