Atmosphere

class konrad.atmosphere.Atmosphere(*args, **kwargs)

Atmosphere component.

atmosphere_variables

Atmospheric variables defined by the Atmosphere component.

Type

list[str]

pmin

Minimum pressure used as threshold between upper and lower atmosphere [Pa]. Methods like get_cold_point_index or get_triple_point_index are looking for levels with higher pressure (closer to the surface) only.

Type

float

__init__(phlev)

Initialise atmosphere component.

Parameters

phlev (np.ndarray) – Atmospheric pressure at half-levels (surface to top) [Pa].
