ProfileExtrapolation.standard_temperature(h: ndarray, T_0: float) → ndarray

Determine the standard temperature at a given height.

Method to compute the temperature 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)

Returns:

T – Temperature (K)

Return type:

numpy.ndarray
