- ProfileExtrapolation.standard_water_vapour_density(h: ndarray, h_0: float, rho_0: float) ndarray#
Determine the standard water vapour density 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)
h_0 (float) – Scale height (km)
rho_0 (float) – Surface water vapour density (g/m^3)
- Returns:
rho – Water vapour density (g/m^3)
- Return type:
