geocat.viz.util.get_skewt_vars#
- geocat.viz.util.get_skewt_vars(pressure=None, temperature=None, dewpoint=None, profile=None, p=None, tc=None, tdc=None, pro=None)#
This function processes the dataset values and returns a string element which can be used as a subtitle to replicate the styles of NCL Skew-T Diagrams.
- Parameters:
pressure (
pint.Quantity
) – Pressure level input from dataset. Renamed from deprecated kwarg p.temperature (
pint.Quantity
) – Temperature for parcel from dataset. Renamed from deprecated kwarg tc.dewpoint (
pint.Quantity
) – Dew point temperature for parcel from dataset. Renamed from deprecated kwarg tdc.profile (
pint.Quantity
) – Parcel profile temperature converted to degC. Renamed from deprecated kwarg pro.p (
pint.Quantity
) – Pressure level input from dataset.Deprecated since version 2023.06.0: In an effort to refactor the codebase to follow naming conventions, keyword arguments have been renamed to more meaningful values.
p
parameter has been deprecated in favor of ``pressure`.tc (
pint.Quantity
) – Temperature for parcel from dataset.Deprecated since version 2023.06.0: In an effort to refactor the codebase to follow naming conventions, keyword arguments have been renamed to more meaningful values.
tc
parameter has been deprecated in favor oftemperature
.tdc (
pint.Quantity
) – Dew point temperature for parcel from dataset.Deprecated since version 2023.06.0: In an effort to refactor the codebase to follow naming conventions, keyword arguments have been renamed to more meaningful values.
tdc
parameter has been deprecated in favor ofdewpoint
.pro (
pint.Quantity
) – Parcel profile temperature converted to degC.Deprecated since version 2023.06.0: In an effort to refactor the codebase to follow naming conventions, keyword arguments have been renamed to more meaningful values.
pro
parameter has been deprecated in favor ofprofile
.
- Returns:
joined (
str
) – A string element with the format “Plcl=<value> Tlcl[C]=<value> Shox=<value> Pwat[cm]=<value> Cape[J]=<value>” where: - Cape - Convective Available Potential Energy [J] - Pwat - Precipitable Water [cm] - Shox - Showalter Index (stability) - Plcl - Pressure of the lifting condensation level [hPa] - Tlcl - Temperature at the lifting condensation level [C]
