pyrtlib.utils.satmix#

pyrtlib.utils.satmix(p: ndarray, t: ndarray, Tconvert: Optional[ndarray] = None) ndarray#

Compute saturation mixing ratio (g/kg) given reference pressure, p (mbar]) and temperature, T (K). If Tconvert input, the calculation uses the saturation vapor pressure over ice (opposed to over water) for temperatures less than Tconvert [K].

DCT, updated 3/5/00

Parameters:
  • p (numpy.ndarray) – Pressure profile (mb).

  • t (numpy.ndarray) – Temperature profile (K).

  • Tconvert (Optional[numpy.ndarray], optional) – Threshold temperature below which saturation water pressure is calculated over ice instead of liquid water. Defaults to None.

Returns:

Saturation mixing ratio (g/kg).

Return type:

numpy.ndarray
