pyrtlib.utils.height_to_pressure

pyrtlib.utils.height_to_pressure(height: float) → float

Convert height data to pressures using the U.S. standard atmosphere [NOAA1976]. The implementation inverts the formula outlined in [Hobbs1977] pg.60-61.

\[p = p_0 e^{\frac{g}{R \Gamma} \text{ln}(1-\frac{Z \Gamma}{T_0})}\]

Parameters:

height (float) – The height value in meters

Returns:

The pressure to the provided height

Return type:

float
