earthkit.meteo.vertical.array.geopotential_height_from_geopotential¶
- earthkit.meteo.vertical.array.geopotential_height_from_geopotential(z)¶
Compute geopotential height from geopotential.
- Parameters:
z (
ArrayLike) – Geopotential (m2/s2)- Returns:
Geopotential height (m)
- Return type:
ArrayLike
The computation is based on the following definition:
\[gh = \frac{z}{g}\]where \(g\) is the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the Earth (see
earthkit.meteo.constants.g)
