PerturbProfile

class konrad.humidity.relative_humidity.PerturbProfile(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Wrapper to add a perturbation to a Relative Humidity profile.

__init__(base_profile=<VerticallyUniform() object at 140136009683344>, shape='square', center_plev=50000.0, width=5000.0, intensity=0.1, fixed_T=False)[source]
Parameters

  • base_profile (konrad.relative_humidity model) – initial profile on which we will add the perturbation.

  • shape (str) – name of the shape of the perturbation. Implemented : “square”, “gaussian”. For a Dirac use a square with width 0.

  • center_plev (float) – Pressure of the center of the square perturbation in [Pa].

  • width (float) – width of the perturbation in [Pa].

  • intensity (float) – Change in RH where the profile is perturbed, positive or negative.

  • Fixed_T (boolean) – If set to true, the temperature at center_plev at the first step is kept as the central point for the perturbation throughout the simulation, and the pressure at the center of the perturbation is no longer constant.
