earthkit.meteo.thermo.array.pressure_on_dry_adiabat

earthkit.meteo.thermo.array.pressure_on_dry_adiabat(t, t_def, p_def)

Compute the pressure on a dry adiabat.

Parameters:

• t (number or array-like) – Temperature on the dry adiabat (K)

• t_def (number or array-like) – Temperature defining the dry adiabat (K)

• p_def (number or array-like) – Pressure defining the dry adiabat (Pa)

Returns:

Pressure on the dry adiabat (Pa)

Return type:

number or array-like

The computation is based on the following formula:

\[p = p_{def} (\frac{t}{t_{def}})^{\frac{1}{\kappa}}\]

with \(\kappa = R_{d}/c_{pd}\) (see earthkit.meteo.constants.kappa).
