ufs2arco.Layers2Pressure.calc_layer_mean_pressure#

Layers2Pressure.calc_layer_mean_pressure(pressfc: DataArray, temp: DataArray, spfh: DataArray, delz: DataArray) → DataArray#

Compute pressure at vertical grid cell center (i.e., layer mean)

Note

If delz is computed by calc_delz(), then a hydrostatic approximation is used. This may be inconsistent with the original simulation/dataset.

Parameters:

  • pressfc (xr.DataArray) – surface pressure, temperature, specific humidity, and layer thickness

  • temp (xr.DataArray) – surface pressure, temperature, specific humidity, and layer thickness

  • spfh (xr.DataArray) – surface pressure, temperature, specific humidity, and layer thickness

  • delz (xr.DataArray) – surface pressure, temperature, specific humidity, and layer thickness

Returns:

prsl (xr.DataArray) – layer mean thickness
